This role demands proactive leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to excellence in execution.

Job Responsibilities

• Project Kickoff
  • Lead the initial contractor meeting and clearly communicate expectations.
  • Attend and support site-specific orientations hosted by the contractor.
  • Prepare by reviewing haul routes, SWPPP, crossing agreements, drawings, material logistics, schedules, QA/QC protocols, and engineering submittals.
  • Set the tone for field operations by training and guiding your internal team.
• Safety Orientation
  • Ensure full understanding of the site-specific safety plan.
  • Conduct and document safety assessments and corrective action logs.
  • Independently gather safety data and include it in weekly reporting.
  • Maintain a visual record of site conditions and progress through organized photo documentation.

Construction Phase:

• Build and maintain a collaborative relationship with the contractor and field teams.
• Stay actively engaged in daily operations, ensuring safety and quality are upheld.
• Understand and enforce project specifications and drawings to minimize rework and associated risks.
• Monitor and manage the construction schedule using internal and contractor tools.
• Track progress, approve CSU entries, and maintain accurate project tracking documentation.

• Remain involved in outage and crossing coordination-do not delegate this responsibility entirely to the contractor.

Reporting and Communication:

• Ensure accuracy and completeness in all reports submitted to project leadership.
• Coordinate with your team to gather necessary inputs for weekly reporting.
• Maintain documentation that may be used in change order negotiations or dispute resolution.
• Inaccurate or missing documentation can result in financial exposure-precision is essential.

• Submit all reports and trackers by Friday, 5:00 PM (project time).

Oversight of Project Resources:

• Ensure contractor accountability without direct communication between environmental staff and contractor crews-route all interactions through the CM.
• Coordinate material delivery schedules and resolve logistics issues.
• Work with vendors to expedite shipments and locate missing materials.
• Engage safety professionals to enhance site safety culture.
• Use their expertise to address non-compliance and improve safety practices.
• Consult SMEs across disciplines-civil, structural, electrical, and more-to resolve technical challenges.
