Staff Construction Project Lead

Staff Construction Project Lead

Client is expanding into physical retail, and we're looking for a Staff Construction Project Lead to support the delivery of our growing retail footprint within the Consumer Group. In this role, you'll oversee the execution of high-complexity construction projects, working with vendor construction project managers and field teams to ensure consistent delivery across a portfolio of sites.

You'll act as the primary internal point of accountability for construction outcomes, coordinating across internal partners and external vendors to ensure projects are built safely, efficiently, and in alignment with approved designs, brand standards, and operational requirements.

Duties:

• Construction Oversight & Retail Rollout:
  Oversee the construction delivery of new Turbo Tax retail locations from pre-construction through opening. You'll manage schedules, budgets, and delivery performance across multiple sites, ensuring work executed by vendor construction project managers meets quality, safety, schedule, and cost expectations.
• Vendor Construction Team Interface:
  Serve as the primary interface between Turbo Tax and vendor construction project managers and field teams. While individual vendor PMs may manage a limited number of sites, you'll provide portfolio-level oversight across a larger set of projects, ensuring consistency in execution, reporting, issue escalation, and adherence to standards.
• Coordination with Design & Internal Partners:
  Partner closely with internal design teams to clarify scope, resolve constructability issues, and ensure approved design packages are executed accurately in the field. You will not perform design work, but will ensure design intent is carried through construction.
• Day 2 Works & Post-Opening Support:
  Oversee post-opening construction activities, including punch lists, warranty items, and minor fixes. You'll coordinate with vendor teams to drive timely resolution and apply lessons learned to improve future builds.
• Project Controls & Vendor Management:
  Maintain strong project controls across multiple concurrent projects. This includes managing trackers, schedules, purchase orders, invoices, and change orders, as well as reviewing vendor reporting and holding construction teams accountable to agreed-upon scopes and timelines.
• Refreshes, Remodels & Field Improvements:
  Execute approved refresh and remodel projects across the existing portfolio. You'll coordinate construction activities with vendors and operations partners, managing sequencing and site logistics to minimize disruption.
• Facilities & Operational
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Partner with facilities and operations teams to support smooth handoff from construction to steady-state operations. You'll help address construction-related facility issues and ensure building systems and life-safety components are operating as intended at turnover.
• Stakeholder Communication & Reporting:
  Provide clear, consistent updates to internal stakeholders including Real Estate, Finance, Operations, and Design. You'll surface risks, dependencies, and trends across the portfolio, using data to support informed decisions and continuous improvement.
