ICON builds robotic systems that construct homes and multi-story buildings. The company has raised over $750M, including a $200M Series D in October 2026, and holds $360M+ in government contracts across the Army, Air Force, DARPA, and NASA. ICON Build is the general contracting division delivering private-sector residential and non-residential projects in Texas and Florida, horizontal land development, and military construction.
The Vice President, Construction owns end-to-end delivery from signed contract to finished building. This role oversees estimating and the Program Management Office, project management, regional construction operations in Texas, Florida, and on military installations, construction purchasing and supply chain, and print operations. You will be accountable for schedule, budget, and quality on every project and for the division's construction gross margin.
You will report to the President of ICON Build and work alongside ICON Prime, Finance, and the Design, Building Science, Hardware, and Software teams. Key responsibilities include:
**Project Delivery and Field Operations:** Own schedule, budget, and quality for every ICON Build project across residential, non-residential, civil, and military construction. Lead regional construction operations through Directors of Construction in Texas, Milcon, and Florida, staffing each market ahead of project starts and holding regional leaders accountable for field performance, subcontractor management, and safety. Build the project management and superintendent bench.
**Preconstruction and Project Controls:** Run preconstruction through the Estimating team and Program Management Office, owning estimate accuracy, bid-to-build handoff, and workflows from business development through buildout. Set the operating cadence that reports every project against baseline schedule and budget and surfaces variance early.
**Purchasing and Self-Perform:** Standardize construction purchasing by negotiating volume agreements on high-spend materials, running a long-lead procurement calendar for equipment, and setting buyout controls that protect margin. Open self-performed trades beyond printing, beginning with concrete foundations, including field leadership, purchasing, and the cost model that decides what Build self-performs next.
**Print Operations and Military Construction:** Take ownership of Print Operations after an initial transition, integrating printed structure into the project schedule and holding print output and quality to standards. Serve as the construction executive for ICON Prime's military construction programs, delivering phased work to federal schedule, quality, and compliance requirements.
**Financial Ownership and Team:** Own construction gross margin for the division in partnership with Finance: project-level P&L, work-in-progress reporting, forecasting, and actions that move margin. Hire, develop, and lead the construction leadership team, including open regional and self-perform leadership seats.
