Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Field Construction Manager to oversee field execution of baggage handling system stabilization and improvement work at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). This field-focused role will independently manage assigned construction workstreams and coordinate contractors, specialty vendors, safety, quality, schedule, testing, commissioning, and closeout.

• Coordinate mechanical equipment, controls, electrical, and other system interfaces affecting baggage-system performance.
• Participate in testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and operational acceptance activities.
• Drive punch-list resolution and coordinate record documents, training requirements, turnover materials, and closeout.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of relevant construction management, field engineering, or construction oversight experience on technically complex projects.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline. Relevant professional experience may be considered in lieu of, or as a supplement to, the education requirement.
• Demonstrated experience independently managing field activities, contractors, specialty vendors, and shutdowns within an active airport or similarly complex operational environment.
• Experience with baggage handling, conveyance, controls, electrical systems, automated material-handling systems, or comparable technical systems.
• Strong knowledge of construction documentation, QA/QC, field change management, schedule coordination, testing/commissioning, and closeout.
• Direct baggage handling system construction, stabilization, or modernization experience preferred.
• Prior SFO or airline project experience preferred.
• Experience with baggage controls, system integration, functional testing, operational acceptance, and coordination with baggage operations preferred.
• California Professional Engineer (PE) license, CCM, PMP, or other relevant professional certification or credential preferred.
