Lead punch list and deficiency closure; coordinate start‑up, commissioning, and system turnovers. Lead constructability reviews; resolve field clashes and tolerances with structures/MEP/architectural finishes; support BIM‑enabled coordination. Validate quantities, measure work‑in‑place, support change management, and verify progress for pay applications; monitor production rates and earned value. Coordinate with owner reps, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), utilities, concessions/tenants, and operations teams to protect public safety and minimize disruption. Set expectations with trade partners; run daily huddles, weekly coordination, and visual management routines.

Proven delivery across multiple work packages and concurrent zones on schedule‑driven, occupied, or operational sites. Expertise in heavy coordination: structures, MEP systems, vertical transportation, envelope, civil/utility interfaces, and complex phasing/turnovers. Mastery of short‑interval planning, production tracking, critical path recovery, and high‑risk work planning (cranes/hoisting, energized systems, confined space). Demonstrated leadership with diverse trade partners in union and environments. Strong communication, negotiation, and issue‑resolution skills in a multi‑stakeholder setting. OSHA 30; additional high‑risk certifications as applicable. Mega program experience in one or more sectors: aviation, stadiums/arenas, healthcare, education, data centers, high rise complex facilities. Proficiency with Procore (or similar), Primavera P6/MS Project, BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud, Navisworks, Bluebeam, and Power BI dashboards.

Team members must be capable of using their hands to handle tools and materials, and perform activities such as sitting, standing, walking, speaking, hearing, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling. Lifting and carrying materials weighing up to 50 pounds unassisted may be necessary on an occasional basis. Individuals in construction field roles work primarily on active job sites where exposure to environmental and job‑related hazards is common, with or without accommodation. These environments may include proximity to heavy machinery, elevated work areas, airborne particles, varying weather conditions, and potential electrical risks. Noise levels may vary from moderate to high depending on the phase of construction. Employees may be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and must remain alert to ensure safety. Additional duties may be assigned as needed based on the scope and progress of the project. Additional Information This position does not include sponsorship for United States work authorization now or in the future. Relocation or Temporary Living Allowance determined by location.
