  • Drive Procurement Efforts: Lead bidding and contracting processes, oversee subcontractor and vendor selection, and manage submittals to keep work aligned with project requirements and timelines.
  • Plan and Execute Projects: Develop and maintain project schedules, lead meetings, coordinate with self-perform teams and subcontractors, and champion safety planning to deliver successful, well-executed projects.
  • Own Financial Performance: Manage all financial aspects of your projects - from preconstruction and estimating through forecasting, cost control, and change management - ensuring strong financial outcomes.
  • Lead Project Teams: Provide clear direction and leadership to project teams, fostering strong communication, mentoring team members, resolving conflicts, and building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
