• Lead daily field execution activities on environmental and industrial construction projects.
• Coordinate and oversee subcontractors and specialty contractors.
• Review permits, plans of the day, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), and field work packages.
• Drive contractor accountability, productivity, safety performance, and schedule adherence.
• Identify constructability challenges and develop practical field solutions.
• Monitor scope changes, field impacts, and potential cost exposures.
• Document daily construction activities, observations, and progress reports.
• Support RFI management, submittals, change documentation, and project controls.
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers, engineers, safety professionals, and client stakeholders.
• Utilize construction management software platforms to manage project documentation and reporting.
• Travel to project locations throughout California and the Western United States as business needs require.

Successful candidates typically possess:

• 5+ years of Construction Manager or Superintendent experience.
• Experience overseeing multiple contractors in active industrial environments.
• Strong field leadership skills and ability to independently manage daily site activities.
• Experience reviewing drawings, specifications, and identifying constructability issues.
• Strong understanding of industrial piping, mechanical systems, treatment systems, or process facilities.
• Experience supporting safety programs, permits, and compliance requirements.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Experience managing contractor performance, field changes, and project reporting.
• Ability to effectively challenge unsafe work practices and enforce project requirements.

• OSHA 30

Equivalent experience will be considered.

• Primarily field-based position.
• Industrial construction and environmental project sites.
• Extensive interaction with contractors and field personnel.
• Travel is a core requirement of the role.
• Typical project rotations may involve approximately two weeks onsite followed by a long weekend home.
• Projects may be located throughout California and other Western U.S. regions.

The strongest candidates are experienced field leaders who:

• Walk projects daily rather than manage from behind a desk.
• Hold contractors accountable for safety, scope, and quality.
• Quickly identify field problems and develop practical solutions.
• Protect project interests through strong documentation and communication.
• Thrive in industrial and environmental construction environments.
• Build strong relationships while maintaining high standards and expectations.
