• Ensure strict compliance with safety regulations (OSHA or local equivalent), building codes, and quality standards
• Coordinate with architects, structural engineers, MEP consultants, and the client's project management team
• Conduct regular site inspections, progress meetings, and risk assessments
• Manage procurement and delivery schedules for materials and equipment
• Resolve on-site conflicts, delays, and technical issues in real time
• Maintain accurate project documentation, daily logs, and progress reports
• Lead, mentor, and manage site supervisors, foremen, and construction crews

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or related field
• 10+ years of experience in construction management, with proven experience on high-rise or multi-story building projects (residential, commercial, or mixed-use)
• Strong knowledge of structural systems, MEP coordination, and vertical construction methods (formwork, tower cranes, curtain walls, etc.)
• Working knowledge of local building codes and safety regulations
• Proficiency in project management software (MS Project, Primavera P6, Procore, AutoCAD, or similar)
• Strong leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
• PMP, CCM, or equivalent certification is a plus
