Senior Construction Manager

Build environments that directly impact patient care and community health. As a Sr. Construction Manager supporting Stanford Health Care's Tri-Valley portfolio, you will help deliver complex healthcare projects that clinicians depend on every day.

This is a hands-on, onsite role based in Pleasanton, CA (not a people manager position). You will lead the day-to-day execution of multiple projects within active, highly regulated healthcare environments, ensuring work is delivered safely, on schedule, and on budget while maintaining operational continuity.

You'll serve as a key connector across internal teams, designers, contractors, and clinical stakeholders—translating plans into execution and proactively resolving issues in the field.

What you'll do:

• Lead day-to-day construction execution across multiple projects from planning through closeout
• Work in collaboration with SHC Facilities Planning and Design, Facilities Engineering, Activations and Business Operations.
• Drive coordination of safety programs including ICRA, PCRA, and ILSM in partnership with Environmental Health & Safety
• Identify and resolve field issues quickly to maintain schedule and minimize operational disruption
• Track and communicate project performance using tools such as PMWeb, Bluebeam, and Plan Grid
• Provide clear, concise updates to leadership on scope, schedule, risks, and budget
• Own day-to-day project execution, risk management, and stakeholder communication
• Coordinate consultants, contractors, and internal partners to keep projects moving forward
• Balance competing priorities while maintaining safety, compliance, and quality standards
• Implement quality control measures, prepare organized and accurate project documentation for reporting
• Success is driven by healthcare or complex construction experience, strong communication, and disciplined project leadership

What you'll bring:

• 8-10+ years of construction/project management experience in healthcare or other regulated environments, preferred
• Experience delivering projects from $50-$100M+ range
• Experience working in or around OSHPD/HCAI projects strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of PMWeb, Bluebeam, Plan Grid, MS Powerpoint and MS Office
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coordinate across diverse stakeholder groups
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a strong focus on safety and execution

The Facilities Services division enhances health through leadership, collaboration, and innovation. Our team offers essential non-clinical support 24/7, ensuring safe operations and planning for future needs. We represent the intersection of planning, construction, general services, and facilities operations.
