4. Coordinate subcontractors and multiple trades in accordance with contract documents and project milestones.
5. Manage quality-assurance activities, preparatory meetings, deficiency resolution, and documentation.
6. Coordinate inspections with AHJs, third-party inspectors, facility representatives, and other stakeholders.
7. Drive submittal review, material procurement, delivery planning, daily reports, and field documentation.
8. Support project startup, commissioning, and alignment with energy-performance requirements.
9. Communicate project health, risks, and progress to Project Management and senior leadership.

Required Qualifications

1. At least five years of experience leading large commercial construction projects valued at $10 million or more.
2. Hospital or university construction experience.
3. Proven field leadership, trade coordination, subcontractor supervision, and jobsite-safety experience.
4. Experience with pull planning and the Last Planner System.
5. Working knowledge of Procore or similar project-management software and Primavera or comparable scheduling software.
6. Ability to interpret plans, specifications, schedules, contracts, and quality requirements.
7. Professional written and verbal communication skills.
8. Ability to work onsite daily in the Downey/Whittier area.

Background

1. HCAI/OSHPD hospital-project experience.
2. Trade, Superintendent, General Superintendent, or MEP field foundation.
3. Experience working in occupied healthcare or university facilities.
4. Mechanical, electrical, controls, central-plant, retrofit, or commissioning exposure.
5. Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or a related field.

Work Requirements

1. Full-time, onsite role with approximately 0-5% travel.
2. Ability to move throughout active construction environments and occasionally move items weighing up to 20 pounds.
