Responsibilities

  • Oversee commercial construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout while maintaining schedule, budget, quality, and safety objectives.
  • Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, procurement plans, and cost forecasts throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Lead subcontractor buyout, contract administration, and ongoing coordination to ensure efficient project execution.
  • Review construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and change orders to keep projects moving forward.
  • Partner with field superintendents to resolve construction challenges and maintain project milestones.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with owners, architects, engineers, consultants, and subcontractors.
  • Monitor project financial performance, prepare cost reports, and proactively identify risks that could impact profitability.
  • Lead project meetings and communicate project status with internal leadership and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure all work complies with contract documents, safety requirements, and quality standards.
  • Drive successful project turnover, punch list completion, and final closeout documentation.
