This is a remote-site assignment requiring an experienced, independent field leader who can manage daily construction operations, coordinate multiple trades, maintain quality control discipline, identify project risks early, and work professionally with Government personnel, base operations, subcontractors, and project stakeholders.

The role requires strong field leadership, mature judgment, disciplined documentation, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to maintain positive working relationships in a remote community.

The project involves renovation of an existing dormitory facility and includes coordination of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, roofing, demolition, environmental, and finish work.

Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day field operations on Ascension Island.

• Review drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, schedules, and field conditions.
• Identify risks early and communicate potential impacts to cost, schedule, quality, safety, logistics, and Government acceptance.
• Maintain daily reports, QC reports, deficiency logs, inspection records, photo documentation, and field issue tracking.
• Coordinate with Government inspectors, base operations, project management, subcontractors, and other stakeholders.
• Verify that work is performed in accordance with approved submittals, contract documents, drawings, specifications, and applicable standards.
• Support progress reporting, schedule updates, look-ahead planning, and field coordination meetings.
• Monitor material status and coordinate with the project team regarding procurement, shipping, staging, storage, and installation priorities.
• Support safety compliance and reinforce safe work practices in coordination with the project SSHO or safety representative.
• Ensure deficiencies are documented, tracked, corrected, and closed before work is covered or accepted.
• Maintain professional conduct and effective working relationships in a remote, small-island environment.
• Communicate clearly with the project team regarding field progress, constraints, manpower, material needs, schedule risks, and required decisions.

Qualifications

• Prior experience as a Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, Construction Manager, or similar field leadership role on construction projects.
• Prior federal construction experience with DoD, USACE, NAVFAC, Air Force, Space Force, GSA, VA, or similar Government projects.
• Experience managing multi-trade vertical construction or renovation work.
