Seeking Operating Partner | Asphalt Paving & Construction | Hampton Roads, VA
I’m an MIT Sloan MBA graduate, Navy Logistics Officer, and acquisition entrepreneur currently pursuing the acquisition of an established asphalt paving and construction company in the Hampton Roads, Virginia market.
The business has operated for approximately 50 years, generates roughly $3M in annual revenue, and has an established workforce, equipment base, and customer relationships.
My vision extends beyond acquiring and maintaining a successful business. I see an opportunity to build a regional paving and infrastructure services platform through operational improvements, organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and expansion into complementary services.
I’m looking to connect with a potential operating partner who brings:
* Direct experience in asphalt paving, sitework, civil construction, or related infrastructure services.
* A demonstrated ability to lead field crews, manage projects, and oversee day-to-day operations.
* Strong knowledge of estimating, bidding, scheduling, equipment utilization, and job profitability.
* An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in building long-term enterprise value.
* Ideally, familiarity with Virginia contractor licensing and the Hampton Roads construction market.
The Opportunity
This is a potential long-term operating partnership, not simply a management position. I’m open to discussing a competitive compensation structure with performance-based incentives and potential equity participation for the right individual.
I bring acquisition financing relationships, strategic planning, financial oversight, and a long-term vision for scaling the business. I’m seeking someone who complements those strengths with deep industry expertise and operational leadership.
The ideal partner is someone who has successfully operated or helped scale a construction business and is excited about the opportunity to build something larger.
The acquisition is currently in progress, and any partnership would be contingent on successfully closing the transaction.
If this sounds interesting, or you know someone who might be a good fit, please reach out via DM. Happy to connect and share more details confidentially.
Location: Hampton Roads, Virginia (Norfolk / Chesapeake / Virginia Beach)
