Job Description
1. Manage multiple commercial renovation and energy-upgrade projects from notice to proceed through closeout, with a focus on occupied, existing facilities rather than ground-up construction.
2. Act as the GC for each project: coordinate trades, oversee field activities, and ensure work is executed safely, efficiently, and in line with contract requirements.
3. Plan, sequence, and allocate resources, including internal teams and subcontractors, to maintain schedule and budget across concurrent projects.
4. Lead the full subcontractor process-soliciting bids, negotiating scopes and pricing, awarding work, and managing performance in the field.
5. Partner closely with in-house engineering teams to translate design intent into executable construction plans and resolve constructability issues.
6. Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, providing clear communication, regular progress updates, and proactive issue resolution.
7. Oversee MEP/HVAC-heavy scopes, including controls, electrical upgrades, and potential renewable components such as solar and microgrids.
8. Manage project financials including cost tracking, change orders, pay applications, and forecasting to protect margin and deliver profitable work.
9. Ensure compliance with federal project standards and processes, particularly on USACE, NAVFAC, GSA, and other public-sector projects.
10. Promote and uphold company core values on every project-doing the right thing, delivering excellence, using teamwork, and keeping things simple and effective.
