* Obtain and assign personnel to jobs (or coordinate with technical department managers) to optimize manpower and provide leadership on goals, priorities, and performance standards.
* Provide construction input throughout conceptual design, design, construction turnover, and project completion phases to optimize construction efficiency.
* Assign and manage personnel to project teams and review boards; guide construction strategies, design reviews, and cost/schedule input as projects progress.
* Establish and control cost, schedule, and technical baselines; manage project staff and matrixed personnel to maintain those baselines.
* Manage professional and non-exempt employees, including career development, performance reviews, and salary administration.
* Deliver clear, accurate oral and written presentations to internal and external stakeholders on construction status, changes, and new approaches - including complex technical, organizational, and financial topics.
* Conduct complex analysis of construction-related problems and develop innovative strategies to accelerate milestone achievement.
* Perform risk analyses and exercise decision authority in defining corrective actions and setting priorities. Additional Duties
* Develop construction execution strategies for capital projects.
* Develop acquisition strategies for subcontracted construction and/or design-build contracts.
* Develop and support the development of large construction contracts.
* Provide occasional oversight of large construction subcontract execution.
* Develop and maintain subcontract functional policies, procedures, and guidelines.
* Support development and standardization of subcontract documents.
