• Own budgets, cost tracking, and forecasting
• Lead client communication and project meetings
• Oversee RFIs, submittals, and change orders

Contracts & Financial Oversight

• Review and manage owner and subcontract agreements
• Participate in contract negotiation and execution
• Ensure projects stay aligned with contractual and financial goals

Scheduling & Field Coordination

• Partner with Superintendents to develop and maintain project schedules
• Monitor progress, productivity, and cost alignment
• Proactively identify and resolve project challenges

Safety & Quality

• Support development and enforcement of site-specific safety plans
• Ensure subcontractor compliance and overall jobsite safety

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of construction experience in project management and/or estimating
• Experience managing projects valued at $5M+
