Owner's Construction Representative (Industrial / Heavy Construction)

Insight Global • Moon Township, PA • 1h ago

Job Description

The Owner's Construction Representative ("Owner's Rep") will serve as the client's onsite eyes and ears, representing the owner daily to help coordinate construction activities with plant teams, answer contractor/vendor questions, and verify progress and quality throughout execution. The construction contractor is accountable for schedule/deliverables; this role ensures transparency, accountability, and alignment to expectations. This role is ideal for a seasoned heavy industrial construction professional who is hands-on, steady under pressure, and capable of building productive working relationships while still holding contractors accountable.

Key Responsibilities:

Onsite Owner Representation / Coordination

Represent the company onsite daily; coordinate between contractor teams, plant operations, maintenance, and vendors.

Serve as a primary point-of-contact for construction questions, field coordination, and issue triage.

Maintain a strong field presence and awareness of ongoing work (multiple work fronts, changing priorities).

Progress Tracking & Reporting

Track daily/weekly progress vs. plan; validate contractor progress claims (e.g., "50% complete" means field-verified completion).

Monitor milestones, productivity, and constraints; escalate schedule risk early with clear facts and recommendations.

Provide concise field updates (progress, blockers, manpower/equipment status, next steps).

Quality Oversight

Observe and report workmanship and installation quality; identify rework risk and ensure issues are documented and corrected.

Support/coordinate QC activities as needed (inspections, hold points, punch items, turnover readiness).

Construction Scope Coverage (Heavy Industrial) Work spans the full range of industrial construction, including (but not limited to):

Groundwork/excavation, foundations, building erection

Equipment installs (e.g., conveyors/rotating equipment), structural steel, piping, electrical installation

Warehouse/building support and associated sitework (as applicable)

Safety & Site Discipline (Field Leadership)

Promote safe execution through visible field engagement, strong communication, and adherence to plant/site expectations.

Identify unsafe conditions/behaviors and ensure they are promptly addressed through the proper channels.

Stakeholder/Relationship Management

Maintain a professional, solutions-oriented temperament; build trust with contractor leadership and plant stakeholders.

Balance collaboration with accountability-ensure work is executed as promised without unnecessary friction.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

Skills and Requirements

15+ years of industrial/heavy construction management experience (owners rep, CM, superintendent, field engineer, or similar).

Proven ability to work effectively onsite with construction companies and vendors; strong interpersonal skills.

Strong field judgment: understands sequencing, constructability, quality expectations, and schedule drivers across multiple trades.

Comfortable working 50-60 hours/week onsite for extended project durations. - Quality control experience in a construction environment.

Experience supporting capital upgrades/replacements in operating industrial plants (brownfield work, working around operations).
