Position Overview

The Project Development & Construction Manager serves as Mine Spec's senior representative on assigned projects and acts as the primary interface between Mine Spec, the client organization, EPCMs, contractors, and project stakeholders.

This is a unique role that combines project development, construction management, owner's representative support, contractor management, procurement, execution planning, and client relationship management into a single leadership position.

Unlike a traditional Project Manager role that focuses primarily on construction execution, this position supports projects from early development through construction completion. The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping project execution strategies, developing procurement packages, supporting contractor selection, managing stakeholder relationships, and ultimately helping lead project delivery during construction.

The successful candidate will support projects through multiple phases:

• Pre-Feasibility Studies
• Feasibility Studies
• Project Development
• Procurement & Contracting
• Detailed Engineering
• Construction Execution
• Commissioning & Turnover

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable participating in executive planning meetings, facilitating contractor strategy sessions, developing procurement packages, reviewing engineering deliverables, leading constructability reviews, supporting business development initiatives, and managing field execution teams during active construction.

Candidates should expect periodic involvement during scheduled time off to support critical project requirements, client needs, and project continuity -- consistent with the senior client-facing nature of this role.

Compensation depends on:

• Experience
• Project assignment
• Scope responsibility
• Client requirements
• Travel and rotational commitments

All project-related travel, accommodations, meals, and transportation are covered by Mine Spec.

• Serve as Mine Spec's primary client-facing representative on assigned projects
• Lead integration between Mine Spec personnel, owner teams, EPCMs, contractors, and project stakeholders
• Coordinate and manage Mine Spec personnel assigned to projects
• Support projects through development, procurement, execution, commissioning, and turnover phases
• Develop project execution strategies, construction management plans, contracting strategies, and procurement plans
• Lead development of RFP packages, contractor bid evaluations, and procurement recommendations
• Facilitate…
