This is not an administrative construction role. Envita is seeking an experienced construction operations leader who can translate Executive Team direction into disciplined project execution. Working hand in hand with Envita's internal licensed contractor, this person will own the organization, planning, scheduling, coordination, communication and follow-through that keep projects, bid packages, vendors, decisions, budgets and deliverables moving from initial planning through final closeout.

Responsibilities are intentionally divided. Envita's internal licensed contractor primarily owns technical construction scope, field execution and the quality of the finished product. This role primarily owns the operational and organizational system around that work, while partnering closely with the licensed contractor to protect schedule, cost, quality, stakeholder alignment and business continuity.

• Direct access to and partnership with Envita's Executive Team and internal licensed contractor, with meaningful authority to drive operational execution.
• Broad ownership across planning, scheduling, bid and proposal coordination, project controls, stakeholder communication, follow-through and closeout.
• The opportunity to build repeatable construction operating systems rather than inherit a narrow project assignment.
• High visibility across a growing, multi-entity healthcare organization where construction directly enables clinical and business expansion.
• A role where proactive leadership, judgment and follow-through will have an immediate and measurable impact.

Create an accountable, transparent and repeatable construction operating system that enables Envita to plan and deliver multiple projects with clear ownership, timely decisions, competitive bid coverage, proactive communication and early visibility into schedule, budget and execution risk.

KPO 1 | Establish complete project visibility

Within the first 60 days, implement a master portfolio view covering every active and planned construction project.

• Maintain current phase, scope, schedule, budget, owner, dependencies, key decisions, risks and next actions for each project.
• Provide the Executive Team and other designated leaders with a concise, decision-ready status report on an agreed cadence.
• Ensure no milestone, commitment or unresolved issue depends on memory or informal follow-up.

KPO 2 | Build and control executable project plans

For each assigned project, translate objectives into an integrated plan that can be actively managed from preconstruction through closeout.

• Define scope, milestones, critical path, deliverables, approval points, dependencies and accountable owners.
• Keep schedules current and identify slippage early enough to protect the overall completion date.
• Drive recovery plans when a milestone or dependency is at risk.

KPO 3 | Lead competitive bidding and contractor coordination

Partner with Envita's internal licensed contractor to create a disciplined process for bidding defined project elements to capable subcontractors, vendors and specialty partners.

• Issue clear bid packages, coordinate site information and questions, and obtain sufficient qualified coverage whenever feasible.
• Coordinate the evaluation of proposals for scope completeness, exclusions, schedule, commercial risk and overall value, drawing on the licensed contractor's technical and field expertise rather than price alone.
• Prepare bid comparisons, organize technical input and present recommendations that enable timely Executive Team decisions and clean awards.

KPO 4 | Protect schedule, cost and quality

Own the planning, controls, coordination and escalation required to help projects finish on time, within approved financial parameters and to Envita's standards, while the licensed contractor owns technical field execution and finished-product quality.

• Maintain current budget, commitment, forecast and variance visibility for every project.
• Identify long-lead items, procurement risks, scope gaps and cost exposure before they become critical.
• Escalate material risks with options, impact and a recommended course of action.

KPO 5 | Create a proactive communication cadence

Ensure clients, prospective clients, executives, internal stakeholders, the licensed contractor, designers, subcontractors and vendors receive clear information at the right time.

• Document decisions, commitments, owners and due dates after key meetings and discussions.
• Communicate changes, emerging risks and required decisions before stakeholders must ask for an update.
• Translate technical construction issues into clear business implications for…
