ARCO Companies

ABOUT YOU

Do you have an extreme commitment to safety? Are you a hard-working leader who never settles for less than superior quality? Do you prefer to manage the construction process from outside the trailer? If the answer is "Yes!" then we have an exciting, long-term career opportunity for you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies.


A DAY IN THE LIFE

  • Lead day-to-day field execution for assigned projects, prioritizing installation quality, commissioning readiness, and compliance with contract documents and project schedules.
  • Direct and coordinate controls work to meet approved specifications, drawings, commissioning requirements, and schedule milestones while supporting project cost and profitability goals.
  • Coordinate field crews, subcontractors, tools, equipment, and work sequencing across multiple activities to maintain safe, efficient progress and support commissioning milestones.
  • Resolve day-to-day crew and field issues professionally; make timely decisions under tight deadlines and escalate quality, schedule, or commissioning risks before they affect project outcomes.
  • Support preconstruction and mobilization planning with project managers and foremen, including schedule development, installation markups, bulk-buy planning, crew sizing, tool and lift planning, and commissioning-readiness considerations.
  • Identify potential installation, coordination, quality, and startup challenges early; work with project stakeholders to develop and track corrective actions.
  • Represent the field team in customer and owner meetings, providing clear updates on installation quality, commissioning progress, open issues, and planned resolutions.
  • Assist with project problem-solving and coordination, clarifying field questions and resolving conflicts that could affect installation quality, testing, or turnover.
  • Conduct regular quality audits on active projects, partnering with project managers to inspect and document installations, verify conformance, and track deficiencies through resolution. Audits include:
    • Verify that 2OC equipment and materials are received, tracked, inventoried, and available for planned installation and commissioning activities.
    • Confirm work is installed in accordance with approved shop drawings, 2OC installation drawings, field markups, and material specifications.
    • Identify, document, and communicate deficiencies or nonconforming work; coordinate corrections and verify completion before work advances to testing or turnover.
    • Verify that 2OC subcontractors follow installation and quality standards and perform work safely and effectively.
    • Support commissioning readiness by confirming installations are complete, documented, and ready for inspection, testing, and startup activities.
  • Conduct monthly safety audits on active projects to verify compliance with 2OC safety standards; promptly address unsafe actions, inadequate equipment, and other identified hazards.
  • Implement and reinforce safety procedures at active project sites, integrating safe work practices into quality inspections and commissioning-related field activities.
NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS
  • High school diploma, GED, trade school
  • 5-15+ years' of controls and/or electrical field experience, with at least 5 of those years leading or supervising controls-related scopes of work.
  • Ability to travel to construction projects across the country.
  • Computer skills: proficiency in using Word, Excel, Outlook, time entry, and project scheduling programs.
  • Possess and maintain a current, valid driver license in your state of residence
  • Ability to meet the physical demands of the job, including but not limited to: standing or walking for long periods of time, occasionally on uneven terrain, bending, kneeling, crouching, climbing stairs, and/or lifting heavy loads of up to 50 pounds
