ENGIE is building a local pipeline for Construction Management talent (all levels) to support utility and energy infrastructure capital projects across the University of Iowa under a long‑term 50‑year concession agreement. Projects range from $100 K to $20 M and include steam and condensate distribution, central utility plant tie‑ins, chilled water and thermal distribution systems, electrical distribution support, and stormwater, wastewater, and civil utility infrastructure.

One of the most significant projects on the horizon is an approximately 800-linear-foot steam tunnel replacement through the heart of campus. This highly visible, campus‑impacting initiative will require exceptional construction leadership, stakeholder engagement, outage planning, and logistical coordination within a complex, active university environment.

This is owner-side field leadership – managing contractors, safety, sequencing, outages, stakeholder coordination, and turnover. It is not estimating‑only or office‑only work.

• Lead projects ranging from $100 K to $20 M in active campus utility environments.
• Play a key role in delivering a marquee steam tunnel replacement at the center of campus.
• Own field execution, contractor performance, safety, logistics, and project delivery.
• Work across diverse utility systems including thermal, electrical, water, wastewater, and civil infrastructure.
• Coordinate stakeholder engagement, outage planning, and logistical coordination within a complex, active university environment.

• Education or experience in Construction Management, Engineering, technical discipline, skilled trades, military training, or equivalent construction leadership roles.
• Construction management experience in industrial, utility, municipal, energy, campus, healthcare, military, infrastructure, or complex commercial environments.
• Equivalent military leadership experience in facilities, utilities, civil engineering, construction, public works, base operations, maintenance, logistics, safety, or mission‑critical infrastructure will be considered.
• Strong field leadership with demonstrated safety ownership, contractor oversight, and issue resolution.
• Experience with constructability reviews, change management, contract administration, schedule input, documentation, and project controls.
• Practical understanding of thermal, utility, MEP, civil, electrical, mechanical, or infrastructure construction.
• Ability to manage competing priorities across active projects, stakeholders, contractors, and site constraints.
