About the Role

We seek a Construction Manager to provide construction management support services to our valued client's data center practice. 2 to 5 years’ construction experience is required. The Construction Manager’s main responsibility is to monitor and report on design, bidding, cost and scheduling events with 100% transparency. Escalation of risk is the number one priority. The client should never be removed from the equation. Decisions involving schedule, cost, safety, coordination, and design shall be made by the client and the A/E team. This role requires a high level of organization and attention to detail. This is a great role for someone looking to grow in the industry. If you are ready for an opportunity with tremendous growth potential, join our team!

General responsibilities include:

• Escalation: The #1 priority for the CM is to elevate issues to the client without delay. It is not the CM’s responsibility to resolve issues but rather to keep the client fully aware and informed of issues – potential or real – so that they can resolve them.
• Payment Applications: Review General Contractor pay applications for accuracy and completeness before sending to the client. Use the Infrastructure Trackers to help confirm that the level of completion matches the amounts being billed.
• Change Orders: Review change order requests for accuracy and completeness before sending to the client. Ensure associated RFI documents and other supporting information are provided, and ensure the scope and justification for the change order request is clear to the client. Escalate change orders that are more than 30 days old to the client. *NOTE: The client should never be surprised by a change order. The Sr CM is responsible for keeping the client apprised of any issues, RFIs, discussions that may lead to a change order request.
• Review OFCI vendor invoices: Ensure the correct equipment has been delivered, damage-free, and is functioning prior to payment.
• Daily review of Daily Logs, Photos, and Infrastructure Trackers to remain aware of the current state of issues, trade progress, and potential risk items. These daily reviews will support your other responsibilities such as change order log updates, monthly review of pay applications, risk exposure log updates, etc.
• Daily Logs: Each day, create a diary-like write-up that is unpolished and unfiltered.
• Focus on the events of the day, including construction items, team interactions, accomplishments, and potential issues.
• Daily Photos: Each day, take structured and unstructured photos.
• Daily Infrastructure Trackers: Each day, update the infrastructure trackers for each trade to show the progress of work.
• Be able to respond or follow up on questions relating to the daily logs, photos, or infrastructure trackers..
• Perform weekly Safety Audits and attach them to the Daily Log.
• Meet with the Senior CM every day to discuss the day's activities and progress, facilitate videoconferences with the architect and engineer, and identify outstanding RFIs and submittals that need to be highlighted and escalated.

Requirements:

• 2 to 5 years’ construction experience is required.
• Bachelor’s degree in architecture, engineering, construction, project management, or a related field. This requirement may be waived with five or more years of direct, vertical construction industry experience.
• Ability to prioritize your time to meet deadlines.
• Strong ability to communicate--verbally and written--clearly, concisely and logically.
• Proven track record on speaking up when you encounter any potential roadblocks.
• Passion for the role you play in keeping the project details on track.

Benefits and Perks:

• Healthcare, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) + employer match
• Life and AD&D coverage 100% employer-paid
• Voluntary life, accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance
• Life Assistance Program
