With a team of industry experts experienced in general contracting, design-build, and construction management, we deliver every project with passion and purpose. We are driven by the long‑term impact our work has on the communities we serve.

ROLE SUMMARY

As a Construction Project Executive at Bowa Construction, you will lead the delivery of complex, high-value healthcare construction projects across multiple regions. These projects may include hospitals, medical office buildings, specialty clinics, and other mission‑critical healthcare facilities. This executive leadership role requires deep expertise in healthcare construction, strong operational oversight, and the ability to manage projects within highly regulated environments. You will be responsible for overall project performance from preconstruction through closeout, while maintaining strong relationships with healthcare clients, design partners, and internal teams. This role also supports healthcare market growth, procurement strategy, and company‑wide operational initiatives across BOWA’s portfolio.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Client & Stakeholder Leadership Serve as the primary executive point of contact for healthcare clients, owners, architects, engineers, and consultants. Lead executive-level meetings, progress reviews, and planning sessions to ensure alignment on scope, budget, schedule, and regulatory requirements. Support business development efforts within the healthcare sector by strengthening client relationships and identifying repeat and future opportunities. Project Oversight & Execution Provide strategic oversight across the full project lifecycle, including preconstruction planning, budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and closeout. Lead execution of healthcare projects while ensuring compliance with safety standards, infection control requirements, and healthcare regulatory guidelines. Partner closely with field leadership and project management teams across regions to drive performance, accountability, safety, and collaboration. Mentor and oversee senior project managers, project managers, engineers, and support staff across multiple healthcare projects and locations. Facilitate regular coaching, performance feedback, and professional development to build strong and capable project teams. Foster a culture of integrity, inclusion, accountability, and excellence throughout all phases of project delivery. Financial & Operational Excellence Oversee project financial performance, including forecasting, cost control, billing, and cash flow management. Lead contract strategy, subcontractor negotiations, procurement planning, and vendor partnerships specific to healthcare work. Ensure project financials align with company goals, reporting standards, and executive leadership expectations. Innovation & Process Improvement Champion the use of construction technology, lean construction principles, and best practices tailored to healthcare environments. Drive continuous improvement by implementing systems, processes, and lessons learned across healthcare projects to improve consistency and outcomes.

QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

12+ years of progressive experience in commercial construction, with 8+ years experience delivering healthcare projects. Proven track record managing complex healthcare facilities valued at $50M+ from preconstruction through closeout. Strong understanding of healthcare construction requirements, including regulatory compliance, permitting, safety, and infection control protocols. Demonstrated ability to lead large, multidisciplinary project teams across multiple geographic areas. Advanced knowledge of contracts, procurement strategies, scheduling, and construction financial management. Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead executive-level discussions and maintain strong client relationships.
