Job Summary

The Construction Manager supports the Site Manager in the delivery of Construction Management services for a brownfield coal-to-gas power plant conversion project executed through multiple owner-held construction contracts. Working within an active operating facility, the Construction Manager provides daily field leadership and coordination of contractor activities to support safe, efficient, and predictable project execution.

The Construction Manager serves as a primary interface between contractors, project controls, engineering, commissioning, operations, and the Construction Management team. The role is responsible for monitoring contractor performance, coordinating field activities, identifying and resolving execution issues, and ensuring alignment with project safety, quality, schedule, and operational requirements.

Construction will be performed by a combination of union and non-union contractors under client-managed contracts. This position does not include responsibility for direct management of self-perform craft labor or contractor workforce supervision, but focuses on contractor oversight, coordination, and construction assurance activities on behalf of the Owner. The role aligns with BV construction management responsibilities involving contractor coordination, schedule oversight, quality management, and stakeholder interface activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Site Manager in execution of all on-site Construction Management activities.
• Coordinate daily construction activities across multiple owner-held contracts and work fronts.
• Monitor contractor performance related to safety, quality, productivity, staffing, and schedule compliance.

• Coordinate field execution activities between contractors, engineering, commissioning, plant operations, and project stakeholders.
• Identify field constraints, interface issues, access conflicts, and operational impacts, and facilitate timely resolution.
• Support implementation of outage, tie-in, energization, and brownfield execution plans.
• Review contractor schedules, look-ahead plans, manpower forecasts, and progress reporting.
• Verify construction progress and assist with validation of contractor payment applications, change orders, and field change requests.
• Monitor construction quality and support inspection, testing, turnover, and system completion activities.
• Maintain awareness of labor relations considerations and assist with coordination among union and non-union contractors.
• Coordinate engineering support for field issues, requests for information (RFIs), non-conformance resolution, and design clarifications.
• Assist in development of mitigation and recovery plans when project performance deviates from established objectives.
• Prepare field reports, progress updates, risk summaries, and construction metrics for project leadership.
• Support system walkdowns, mechanical completion, turnover, commissioning, and startup activities.
• These responsibilities are consistent with construction coordination, contractor oversight, schedule management, field issue resolution, and owner-support functions described in BV-style site management roles
