The position focuses on delivering projects safely, on schedule, within budget, and at a high level of quality while maintaining strong relationships with owners, subcontractors, design partners, and internal teams.

Responsibilities

+ Lead ground-up commercial construction projects valued between $4M and $15M+ from preconstruction through final closeout.

+ Manage project financials, including cost forecasting, cost projections, budgeting, buyouts, change orders, and profitability management.

+ Develop, maintain, and update project schedules, using tools such as Microsoft Project to ensure timely completion and alignment with milestones.

+ Lead subcontractor management, including selection, contract negotiation, onboarding, performance oversight, and issue resolution.

+ Administer contracts and project documentation, including RFIs, change orders, and other key project records to ensure accuracy and compliance.

+ Serve as the primary client-facing point of contact, building and maintaining strong relationships with owners and their representatives throughout the project.

+ Collaborate closely with design teams, internal project leadership, and other stakeholders to resolve issues and keep projects on track.

+ Monitor project progress, quality, safety, and budget performance, proactively identifying risks and implementing corrective actions when needed.

+ Coordinate project buyouts and procurement activities to secure materials, equipment, and services in line with budget and schedule requirements.

+ Ensure all work meets high standards of quality and is delivered in accordance with contract documents and company expectations.

+ Provide clear, consistent communication and reporting on project status to internal leadership and external stakeholders.

+ Lead projects with minimal supervision, taking initiative to drive decision-making and maintain momentum across all phases.
