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. PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES Client Management: Act as the main executive connection to clients, maintain steady communication, and build relationships that encourage future work. Project Leadership: Oversee each project at a high level to ensure planning, cost, schedule, and quality targets are met. Team Development: 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. Strong understanding of formal project management methodologies. Experience overseeing a construction project. Budget management experience.
