Site Logistics & Operations: Oversee project execution within active, operational, and highly secure environments, ensuring zero disruption to the client's daily mission-critical activities. Financial & Contractual Supervision: Manage project budgets, detailed shop drawings, engineered revisions, material procurement, change orders, and regular cost-to-complete forecasting. Safety, Quality & Compliance: Enforce rigorous safety, environmental abatement, and quality control standards across all active jobsites. Required Qualifications Experience: Minimum of 7 to 10+ years of progressive construction project management experience, preferably working with a general contractor or construction management firm. Project Portfolio: Proven track record managing technically complex projects, such as commercial interior consolidations, laboratory environments, active airport facilities, or industrial utility infrastructure.

Technical Literacy: Ability to read, interpret, and manage detailed engineered drawings, structural revisions, and complex mechanical/electrical system specifications. Geographic Requirement: Must permanently reside on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio, with the ability to travel daily to site locations in the immediate region. Education: Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred; equivalent hands-on field leadership and project management experience will be fully considered.
