About the Role

• Role focuses on operationalizing asset management tasks
• Role involves managing between two and five contracts or projects at any given time.

About the role

• When a project is behind, we sometimes fund acceleration: labor incentives, extra shifts, expedited equipment, payments that unblock a trade. Someone has to know whether that money reached the people doing the work and whether it bought schedule
  . That is this role.
• It is not an accounting job. You own the judgment:
  what each dollar is buying, which contractors are performing, what the contract incentives are really doing to behavior
  , and where the next dollar should go. Your findings change how we run the program. We measure, recommend and set conditions on our own funding
  . The developer and its contractors run the work.

What you will do

• Map how funds move from company through the developer and landlord to the general contractor and trades on each project
  , including lender controls that can trap cash, and confirm the money lands where it was meant to.
• Read the liquidated damages
  , bonus and payment terms in the construction contracts to understand each contractor’s real incentives
  , and flag where damages exposure or unpaid amounts are stalling work.
• Build a simple scorecard of contractor performance (schedule against baseline, crew levels, milestone completion, rework) tied to each funding tranche.
• Compare results across spend types and across sites
  , say which dollars bought the most schedule, and recommend what to fund more, change or stop.
• Run the tiered check on spot spend
  : small items logged, mid size items to the team for same day sign off, large items to Finance for approval. Push back when a request has no basis.
• Own site reconciliations and settle the books monthly with the counter parties.
• Give the negotiators the facts they need on delay credits, damages and claims.
• Spend time on site with contractor and developer management.

You may be a good fit if you

• Have managed or monitored the commercial side of large construction projects from the owner, developer or lender side.
• Can put a schedule update and a pay application side by side and tell whether they describe the same project.
• Understand liquidated damages, incentive and retention schemes, retainage, pay when paid terms, lien waivers and change orders, and how they drive contractor behavior.
• Build your own analysis from messy data without waiting for a system.
• Will tell senior people that a spend is not working, with the evidence.
• Think in terms of program design, not transaction processing.

Strong candidates may also

• Have data center, power or other mission critical experience.
• Have worked as a lender’s construction monitor or independent engineer certifying draws against progress.
• Have done earned value or forensic delay analysis.
• Have designed craft labor incentive programs (per diem, retention, completion bonuses).
