The Construction Manager manages approximately 5–10 active projects at any time, ensuring that each initiative meets scope, schedule, budget, quality, and safety expectations while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.

The position offers significant autonomy, direct visibility with senior leadership, and the opportunity to deliver high-impact projects in complex industrial and logistics environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead construction projects through the complete lifecycle, including planning, design coordination, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover to operations.
• Manage multiple concurrent retrofit, renovation, tenant improvement, and expansion projects within fulfillment centers, distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other large commercial or industrial environments.
• Drive preconstruction activities such as budgeting, cost estimating, design reviews, constructability reviews, scheduling, and risk management to set projects up for successful execution.
• Coordinate closely with architects, engineers, design consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders to align project scope, design intent, and operational requirements.
• Oversee field construction execution to ensure adherence to project budget, schedule, quality standards, and safety requirements within active operational facilities.
• Negotiate and manage construction, procurement, and labor contracts, including contract review, RFIs, and vendor engagement.
• Monitor and control project budgets and schedules, including cost tracking, change management, and forecasting to maintain delivery commitments.
• Identify project risks early and develop mitigation strategies to minimize impact on schedule, budget, and operations.
• Provide regular project reporting, including financial updates, progress reports, forecasts, and executive-level communications to keep leadership and stakeholders informed.

• Collaborate with internal business partners to understand capacity needs, operational constraints, and future growth plans, and translate them into effective project solutions.
• Travel to project sites as needed, typically within a regional territory, to conduct site visits, oversee construction activities, and support project stakeholders.
• Contribute to a fast-paced project delivery model where preconstruction phases typically last around four months followed by approximately six to eight weeks of on-site construction.
