Project Executive

Jim Cooper Construction Co

The Project Executive plays a pivotal leadership role with an emphasis on being regularly present at the jobsite to maintain strong in-person interaction and awareness. This person is deeply engaged — not just sitting behind reports, but walking the jobsite, interacting in person, and building genuine relationships with the people driving the work forward. They maintain full awareness of the project’s progress, risks, and needs, recognizing that every team member and trade partner plays a critical role in the project’s success. Strong communication and connectivity are non-negotiable: the Project Executive sets the tone for collaboration, ensuring alignment between field, office, and client expectations. Ultimately, they are fully responsible for the performance, well-being, and delivery of their project staff and the outcomes they achieve together. Responsibilities also include submitting project deliverables, preparing status reports, and establishing effective project communication and execution plans.

Build up the skills and leadership capabilities of construction teams, creating a knowledgeable and high-performing group.
Operational Oversight:

Partner with operations on key activities—such as major trade procurement and early design coordination—while staying ahead of cost, risk, and field challenges.
Strategic Input:

Offer guidance that improves overall project strategy, including opportunities for efficiency, innovation, and smoother project delivery.


REQUIREMENTS

  • A bachelor’s degree or master's degree in construction, engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience in project management.
  • Ten or more years of field and project planning experience.
  • Ability to lead project teams of various sizes and see them through to completion.
