• Partner closely with the Superintendent to develop project schedules, site logistics plans, sequencing strategies, and subcontractor coordination plans.
• Lead preconstruction and planning meetings with design teams, subcontractors, and vendors to identify constructability, sequencing, procurement, and manpower challenges before they impact the field.
• Manage project financial performance including budgets, cost forecasting, change management, owner billing, subcontractor payments, and overall profitability.
• Identify value-engineering opportunities and alternative construction approaches that improve cost, schedule, or constructability.
• Coordinate procurement of long-lead materials, equipment, and specialty systems to maintain project schedules.
• Lead owner/architect/contractor meetings and maintain consistent communication with clients throughout the project.
• Monitor construction progress, quality, safety, schedule, and subcontractor performance in partnership with field leadership.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, documentation, and other project controls required to maintain accurate project records.
• Drive project closeout, punch list completion, commissioning coordination where applicable, and final turnover to the client.

Projects & Scope

• Mid- to large-scale projects with significant subcontractor and trade coordination.
• Design-build and fast-track project delivery environments.
• Projects may include distribution, warehouse, manufacturing, cold storage, food and beverage, commercial, and other technically driven facilities.
• Full project lifecycle exposure from conceptual design and estimating through procurement, construction, and turnover.

Qualifications and Experience

• 3+ years of commercial or industrial construction experience with a general contractor or design-build contractor.
• Experience supporting or managing ground-up construction projects from preconstruction through completion.
• Strong understanding of project financials, subcontractor buyout, scheduling, change management, procurement, and owner coordination.
