You’ll work closely with the Project Manager to align resources, resolve challenges, and keep the project moving forward. You will be an ambassador for Jackson Construction fostering relationships with Owners, Architects, and Subcontractors, while leading and mentoring team members, and addressing challenges proactively.

Responsibilities

• Safety Leadership: Enforce the company’s Safety & Health program and maintain compliance with all Federal, State, and City regulations; proactively identify risks and lead initiatives to achieve a zero-incident jobsite.
• Schedule Management: Develop and maintain detailed project schedules in collaboration with the Project Manager; coordinate labor, materials, and subcontractors to meet deadlines using CPM sequencing.
• Quality Assurance: Oversee quality control to ensure materials and workmanship meet or exceed project specifications; promptly address non-compliant work and maintain proper documentation.
• Team Collaboration: Build and maintain strong relationships with Owners, Architects, Subcontractors, and internal teams; facilitate subcontractor meetings, preconstruction planning sessions, and OAC meetings to ensure alignment.
• Resource and Cost Management: Manage equipment, tools, and resources; partner with the Project Manager to monitor budgets, control costs, and evaluate staffing requirements; ensure timely maintenance and accurate inventory.
• Operational Excellence: Maintain an organized and efficient job site; implement process improvements to optimize timelines, enhance team performance, and deliver projects within budget.
• Documentation and Reporting: Use Procore, Bluebeam, and scheduling tools to track daily activities, document progress, and communicate updates; ensure accurate payroll, budget tracking, and project cost reporting.

Essential Functions

You must be able to twist, stoop, bend, squat, kneel, and climb stairs and ladders occasionally, with the ability to walk on uneven ground while navigating active construction sites.
