• Own the construction scope, including:
  • New build-outs
  • Retrofit and renovation work
• Coordinate between:
  • Contractors
  • Designers
  • Consultants
  • Cross-functional internal teams
• Lead daily site activities while maintaining strong relationships across all stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through innovation, process, and accountability
• Support project planning and scoping by sequencing and packaging work for execution
• Assist with development and maintenance of project schedules
• Manage cost changes, pricing negotiations, and financial forecasting
• Track schedule risks and proactively report mitigation plans
• Conduct regular site walks and WIP validations to support progress tracking and invoicing
• Review and manage Method of Procedures (MOPs) for work in live / operational environments
• Support commissioning activities for new and retrofit construction
• Provide status reporting on schedule, cost, quality, and risk
• Drive project closeout activities and documentation
• Promote a strong safety culture, continuous improvement, and teamwork

What We're Looking For

Required / Strongly Preferred

• Strong Construction Management experience in complex environments
• Proven MEP Experience (mechanical and/or electrical experience is critical)
• Field experience combined with basic project management knowledge
• Ability to manage multiple work streams in different phases
• Strong communication, collaboration, and relationship-building skills
• Comfort solving problems in real time at the job site

Ideal Experience

• 7-10 years of experience in construction, operations, maintenance, or project delivery
• Experience with mission-critical infrastructure or highly technical facilities
• Familiarity with:
  • Electrical, mechanical, and connectivity systems
  • Commissioning of new builds and retrofits
  • CPM scheduling principles
• Experience working with schedules and budgets
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

Nice-to-Have

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
• Familiarity with Primavera P6
• Experience coordinating with QA/QC teams

This Role Is a Strong Fit If You...

• Have deep MEP knowledge and enjoy solving construction challenges
• Are comfortable leading in the field while collaborating cross-functionally
• Know how to balance schedule, cost, quality, and safety without losing control
• Are proactive, communicative, and accountable
• Can keep large, complex projects moving forward under real constraints

Work Environment & Schedule

• 100% on-site
• Approximately 40 hours per week
• Minimal overtime expected
• Long-term contract with strong potential for extension
• Projects are entering early construction phases, offering long runway and stability

Why This Opportunity?

This role provides:

• High visibility on large-scale, technically complex projects
• A chance to lead from the field-not from behind a desk
