Employee-owned EPC contractor building out construction leadership for its gas-fired generation business. It has a multi-year program of combined cycle and simple cycle projects starting in early 2027, each worth $500M to more than $1B. All work is self-perform.

You will oversee two to three concurrent power generation projects from mobilization through turnover, and the Site Managers on those projects will report to you. You will be responsible for craft resourcing, construction readiness, site performance and project gross margin across the portfolio.

• Craft workforce strategy and staffing plans tied to each project's baseline schedule
• Construction readiness and gate reviews before mobilization and major milestones
• Delivery across scope, schedule, cost, quality and safety on multiple sites at once
• Productivity, cost and performance tracking, with corrective action where projects drift
• Construction execution plans for live projects and proposals: staffing, schedule, materials, equipment, risk and cost
• Constructability reviews that cut cost and schedule
• Selection and management of subcontractors and alliance partners
• Senior client relationships and development of your site leadership team

• Direct combined cycle or simple cycle construction delivery with a self-perform EPC contractor
• Site Manager on at least two major projects valued above $200M, taken from start to completion
• Operations oversight of more than one project at a time
• A record of delivering gross margin on direct-hire craft projects
• 10 to 20 years of construction operations experience, with a stable career history
• A bachelor's degree in engineering or construction, or equivalent experience
• OSHA 10
• A background that started in the trades is a strong plus

• Multi-year backlog in gas generation, one of the company's priority growth markets
• Portfolio-level leadership rather than a single site
• Weekly home time in place of extended rotations
• Employee ownership, company-matched 401(k), and medical, dental and vision cover
