Construction Project Manager

Description

The Construction Project Manager owns Acterra’s fuel system construction and installation projects from award through closeout. This role exists so that every project has one accountable owner – one person holding the scope, the schedule, the cost, and the customer relationship in the same hands. The Construction Project Manager will run several projects at once, in multiple states and across commercial and federal markets: planning the work, getting submittals and permits approved ahead of the crews lining up labor, materials, and subcontractors, pricing and documenting changes as they happen, and closing each job out completely.

This is an ownership role, not a coordination role. You will make the calls on your projects and work directly with customers, prime contractors, inspectors, and your crews – and you will be measured on whether the work got built safely, properly, on time, and at or better than the cost it was estimated at.

• Serves as the accountable owner for assigned fuel system construction and installation project across Commercial and Federal markets, from award and handoff through final acceptance and closeout.
• Take handoff from estimating and sales, confirms scope, means and methods, assumptions, and cost basis of the awarded work, and identify gaps or risks before mobilization rather than after.
• Develop and maintain the project execution plan: scope breakdown, milestone schedule, labor, equipment requirements, material and long-lead requirements, site logistics, and inspection and test requirements.
• Translate that plan into clear, dated requirements for the functions that fulfil it – material and equipment requirements to Purchasing, and crew size, skill mix, and qualification requirements to Scheduling and Dispatch – early enough for those functions to act on them.
• Run projects to the contract – know what Acterra sold, what it did not, and what the contract, drawings, and specifications actually require.
• Hold projects to the delivery commitments made to the customer and communicate early and specifically when a commitment is at risk.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects in multiple states at different phases, and sequence attention by risk and impact rather than by whoever called last.
• Conduct project kickoff, look-ahead, and post-project review meetings, and make sure decisions and commitments from them are written down and followed.

• Make safety the first consideration in every project decision, and plan work so that the safe method is also the scheduled method.
• Ensure site-specific safety planning is completed and current before work begins – job hazard analyses, permits, confined space and hot work requirements, utility locates, excavation and shoring plans, and site orientation – and that the crews and subcontractors are qualified and trained before they are on site.
• Enforce quality requirements at the point of installation: approve submittals and materials, manufacturer requirements, applicable codes and published criteria, and required inspections and testing.
• Ensure projects comply with customer, contract, and regulatory requirements, including environmental and permitting obligations for tank and fuel system work.
• On Federal projects, meet the requirements Acterra carries as a subcontractor to the base prime contractor, including installation access and badging, site rules and escort requirements, submittal and QC procedures, and contract flow-down obligations.
• Support the project side of prevailing wage, certified payroll, and contract labor reporting requirements where applicable.

• Own the submittal process: identify…
