• Manage change orders, including evaluation, negotiation, and implementation to minimize disruptions.
• Coordinate with the safety team to enforce protocols, conduct inspections, and promote a zero-incident culture.
• Review and approve contractor invoices, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely processing.
• Drive project progress in the field, resolving issues proactively and maintaining momentum across all phases.
• Oversee the work of pre-determined subcontractors, monitoring performance, quality, and adherence to specifications in key disciplines: electrical (primary focus), civil, and piping/mechanical.
• Collaborate with engineering and procurement teams to integrate field activities with overall project plans.
• Report project status, risks, and milestones to senior management and stakeholders.

• Proven experience as a Construction Project Manager in industrial or manufacturing projects, with a track record of leading field teams and managing multidisciplinary scopes.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to motivate teams, resolve conflicts, and foster collaboration.
• Demonstrated expertise in handling change orders, invoice approvals, safety coordination, and subcontractor oversight.
• Familiarity with electrical, civil, and piping/mechanical disciplines in construction settings.
• Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work in a field-based environment, including exposure to industrial sites.
• College degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field preferred but not required; equivalent experience will be considered.
