• Plan and coordinate shutdowns, outages, live-system tie-ins, energization, equipment startup, testing, and commissioning.
• Manage phased construction in occupied, secure, or continuously operating facilities while minimizing disruption.
• Lead coordination meetings and hold subcontractors accountable for schedule, manpower, quality, and completion commitments.
• Coordinate inspections and verify installation requirements before work is concealed or systems are placed into service.
• Communicate field issues, schedule risks, and proposed solutions to project leadership.
• Maintain daily reports, progress photos, manpower records, inspection logs, and other field documentation.
• Oversee punch lists, systems turnover, owner training, closeout documentation, and final acceptance.
• Mentor foremen, assistant superintendents, and field engineers.

• Experience coordinating multiple trades and managing schedules, safety, inspections, and quality.
• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, submittals, schedules, and equipment documentation.
• Strong planning and communication skills, with the ability to address field problems and keep teams accountable.
• Comfort using digital drawings, field reporting tools, and construction management software.
• OSHA 30 certification or the ability to obtain it shortly after hire.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to meet project-specific security, background-check, and facility-access requirements.
• Ability to travel or work project-specific schedules as needed.

• Hospitals, data centers, federal facilities, active school campuses, laboratories, or central utility plants.
