Monitor project performance including earned value metrics, RFIs,

Lead monthly project reviews with Project Managers and

Promote lessons learned and ensure strong project documentation,

closeout quality, and turnover standards.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

Lead deployment and continuous improvement of the companys safety

and quality programs.

Ensure job hazard analyses, pre-task planning, and incident

reporting processes are followed across projects.

Maintain compliance with OSHA, environmental, client, and regulatory

requirements while reinforcing a strong safety culture through site visits and leadership engagement.

People, Leadership & Culture

Recruit, develop, and retain high-performing construction leaders

including Construction Managers, Assistant Construction Managers, and Superintendents.

Conduct regular performance check-ins, set measurable goals, and

support career development and succession planning.

Foster collaboration across construction, engineering,

preconstruction, and corporate teams.

Financial Stewardship

Oversee project financial performance including cost reporting,

forecasting, and margin protection.

Ensure disciplined change management, subcontract oversight, and

risk controls.

Partner with Corporate Finance on work-in-progress reporting,

revenue recognition, cash management, and AR support.

Resource & Equipment Management

schedules and productivity goals.

Coordinate equipment planning including mobilization, utilization

tracking, and preventive maintenance.

Serve as a senior point of contact for key clients and partners.

Support business development efforts including proposal reviews,

constructability input, and preconstruction planning.

Assist with subcontractor and supplier evaluation, performance

management, and issue resolution.

Systems & Continuous Improvement

Lead adoption and governance of key project systems including
