• Support look-ahead planning and short-interval scheduling (2–6 week planning cycles)
• Help identify schedule risks, delays, and productivity constraints in the field
• Ensure alignment between field execution, schedule updates, and cost reporting
• Assist in tracking key project milestones, deliverables, and turnover packages
• Participate in coordination meetings with project controls, construction, and client teams
• Support documentation of field progress, constraints, and corrective actions
• Promote strong communication between field leadership and project management teams

Qualifications:

• 5–10+ years of experience in construction, preferably in superintendent or field leadership roles
• Experience on large commercial, industrial, or mission-critical projects (data centers preferred)
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, field operations, and trade coordination
• Exposure to project controls, scheduling, or planning functions is highly desirable
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, schedules, and progress reports
• Strong communication and coordination skills across multiple stakeholders
• Experience working in fast-paced, multi-trade construction environments
• Proficiency with scheduling tools (P6 or similar) is a plus
• OSHA 30 certification preferred

Preferred Backgrounds:

• Candidates may come from general contractors, construction management firms, or large-scale infrastructure projects with strong field execution and planning integration
• Experience supporting data center or mission-critical construction programs is highly desirable

What We're Looking For:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and field-strong construction professional who can bridge execution and planning. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, proactive in identifying field constraints, and capable of ensuring accurate alignment between construction progress and project controls reporting. This is a key support leadership role within a major mission-critical data center program with strong long-term growth potential.
