  • Conduct regular site inspections to ensure compliance with plans, specifications, and building codes
  • Mentor and develop junior project staff, assistant project managers, and project engineers
  • Lead project closeout procedures including punch lists, warranties, and final documentation
  • Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities to enhance project delivery

Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success delivering projects ranging from $1M to $20M+ on time and within budget
  • Proven track record managing construction in occupied buildings and live operational environments
  • Strong expertise in construction scheduling, budgeting, cost control, and value engineering
  • Excellent leadership abilities with experience mentoring junior project managers and construction staff
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills for engaging with clients, architects, subcontractors, and stakeholders
  • Proficiency with construction management software, scheduling tools, and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field preferred
  • Knowledge of building codes, OSHA safety regulations, and industry best practices
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting aggressive deadlines
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites as needed
