The Opportunity

The Site Manager is the on-site leader responsible for coordinating and overseeing field installation activities for Thermo Systems projects. Partnering closely with the assigned Project Manager, the Site Manager drives safe, high-quality installation execution and monitors schedule progress at the job site-ensuring work is performed to plan, issues are surfaced early, and changes are controlled.

This role serves as Thermo Systems' site liaison with customer representatives, general contractors, and third-party trades (including electrical subcontractors). The Site Manager ensures installation drawing version control, supports change order development, and maintains daily field coordination with Thermo Systems Engineering and internal/external field resources.

• Promote a safety-first culture: reinforce safe work practices, ensure compliance with site safety plans, and escalate unsafe conditions immediately.
• Lead field quality practices: verify installation workmanship, ensure inspections are completed, and coordinate punch list creation and closure.

Schedule Monitoring & Daily Coordination:

• Track installation progress against the approved schedule and short-interval plans; identify risks to milestones and drive corrective actions.
• Coordinate daily/weekly field meetings (toolbox talks, trade coordination meetings, look-ahead planning) as required by the site.
• Maintain clear visibility of site constraints (access, permits, shutdown windows, staging areas, material availability) and communicate impacts proactively to the Project Manager.

Stakeholder Management & Site Liaison:

• Serve as Thermo Systems' on-site point of contact with:
  • Customer representatives (as applicable)
  • General contractor / construction management team
  • Third-party electrical and mechanical trades
  • Safety and quality representatives
• Foster strong working relationships while maintaining disciplined coordination, documentation, and escalation paths.

Engineering & Drawing Control (Version Management):

• Maintain strict version control of installation drawings and field change documentation (latest revisions, RFIs, redlines/as-builts).
• Coordinate with Thermo Systems Engineering to resolve constructability issues, clarify design intent, and communicate field conditions that affect drawings.
• Ensure field teams and subcontractors are working from the current approved revisions and that superseded documents are removed from use.

Change Management & Commercial Support:

• Identify field-driven scope changes, site conditions, or customer/GC-driven modifications that could impact cost, schedule, or scope.
• Support change order development by documenting change drivers, capturing field impacts (labor, material, schedule), and providing timely inputs to the Project Manager.
• Assist with RFIs, field clarifications, and documentation needed to substantiate changes.

Coordination with Project Manager:

• Partner closely with the Project Manager on execution readiness, schedule adherence, risk/issue escalation, and change control.
• Provide accurate weekly (or as required) site updates for project reporting: progress, constraints, safety, quality, open issues, and upcoming milestones.
• Ensure site execution aligns to Thermo Systems standards for documentation, reporting, and handover requirements.

Material, Workface, and Readiness Support:

• Coordinate with procurement/logistics and field teams to confirm material readiness, deliveries, staging, and inventory control on site.
• Support workface planning: ensure crews have the right drawings, materials, tools, access, and permits to execute planned work.
• Participate in commissioning readiness planning (as applicable) by ensuring installation completion, testing prerequisites, and punch list closure.

Education & Experience:

• Background in electrical installation, industrial controls, automation, construction management, or related trade leadership.
