Vice President Project & Construction Management

Discover your exciting role

As Vice President Project & Construction Management, you will lead Project Management, Construction Management, Commissioning, and Project Setup across Exyte's project portfolio in the United States. Spanning Advanced Technology Facilities, Biopharma & Life Sciences, and Data Centers, the role provides integrated leadership from the sales and proposal phase through project planning, construction, commissioning, and closeout.

You will shape execution models during preconstruction, strengthen constructability and delivery planning, and ensure consistent performance across safety, quality, cost, schedule, and productivity. A central part of your mandate will be the effective staffing of projects, including anticipating resource requirements and redeploying experienced team members across the portfolio as project needs evolve.

This role requires an accomplished EPC/EPCM and construction leader with the breadth to oversee multiple project environments and the credibility to align project teams, functional leaders, and senior stakeholders. Experience in semiconductor facility delivery is particularly relevant given the complexity and significance of this part of the portfolio.
