Vice President of Labor Relations

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Labor Relations to provide executive leadership on labor matters within the construction industry. Responsibilities include coordinating collective bargaining negotiations, developing contract language, and advising member contractors on agreements, wages, regulations, and jurisdictional issues. The role will manage grievances and arbitration, build productive relationships with unions and industry stakeholders, and represent the organization on labor-management committees and related boards. The Vice President will also support benefit-plan governance, apprenticeship and workforce initiatives, and contribute to strategic planning, organizational effectiveness, and budget oversight. Candidates should have at least five years of experience in labor relations or collective bargaining, preferably in construction, and strong knowledge of labor agreements, negotiations, and union-management relations. Experience interpreting contracts and handling grievances, arbitration, and dispute resolution is required, along with an understanding of construction labor practices and skilled trades. The role calls for executive-level communication, negotiation, diplomacy, sound judgment, and relationship-building skills. Strategic leadership and a member-focused approach are important; familiarity with jointly administered benefit funds, apprenticeship programs, and labor-management committees is an asset.
