Join Our Team as a Dry Mechanical Construction Manager!

Are you looking to take your career in construction management to the next level? OnQ Global is seeking a skilled Dry Mechanical Construction Manager to join our team in Boise, ID. As a leader in the construction industry, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for growth and development. Join us and be a part of a company that values innovation, teamwork, and excellence.

The Dry Mechanical Construction Manager (CM) will work closely with the General Contractor Project Manager and establish an immediate and close relationship with the dry mechanical vendors and subcontractors to gain a complete understanding of the system scope, drawings and specifications, materials, ancillary scope requirements, and general project objectives.

The CM will bring "best practice" and innovative experience to this project that will facilitate the delivery of efficiencies in design, construction, quality, and commissioning through operational turnover.

Responsibilities:

1. Construction Management

• Acquire a thorough understanding of, and assist in establishing, the Client's requirements for the dry mechanical scope relating to budget, quality, and schedule.
• Advise on and issue appropriate notices on behalf of the Client to relevant parties regarding procedures and other practical matters arising under the Contract Agreements.
• Create and maintain, for the purpose of daily active management of project delivery, three key tools:
  a. Action Item Log – for tracking key actions and associated "what," "when," and "who" required to maintain project progression.
  b. Milestone Management Log – for extracting key milestones from the project schedule to focus the team on the right course of action.
  c. Procurement Log – for tracking all major equipment and associated progress in delivery of Client/OFCI-provided items.
• Establish working relationships with architects, engineers, consultants, and vendors, and provide them (and maintain throughout the project) an overview of the Client's needs, goals, requirements, and schedule constraints.
• Work with the Client and Project Team to evaluate options and make decisions related to phased growth into the facility (e.g., MEP equipment, layouts, building expansion, etc.).
• Work closely with the Superintendents to ensure that a progressive and consistent safety culture is part of field execution. Ensure vendors and trade contractors promote a behavior-based safety plan and actively administer, manage, and audit in the field.
• Review the Master Project Schedule to verify it includes actual material lead times and delivery schedules, and advise the Client of any schedule constraints impacting project progress.
• Support the PM in reviewing all contractor claims regarding cost and schedule impacts, and make recommendations after consulting the appropriate parties—on the acceptability of each claim. The PM will be responsible for negotiating claims and financial settlements as appropriate.

1. Vendor Management

• Conduct weekly meetings with executives or principals from all vendor and trade partners to address open items, concerns, or issues during project execution.

1. Budget Management

• Support maintenance of the Dry Mechanical Cost Report, inclusive of all contract change orders and pending change orders.

1. Schedule Management

• Evaluate and propose alternative schedules and concurrent activities between projects, identifying opportunities for improved performance against planned schedule milestones.
• Evaluate labor productivity reports from the Superintendent and conduct cost-benefit analyses of acceleration techniques (e.g., second shifts).
• Incorporate key milestones into deliverables owned by dry mechanical material vendors and include their commitment to those milestones during sourcing.
• Ensure all stakeholders are guided by the schedule rather than acting as constraints to achieving it.
• Routinely review schedule details and identify any flaws that may impact project completion. Propose mitigation plans for schedule recovery where applicable.
• Perform problem-solving tasks for any portion of the work that falls behind schedule, providing regular and transparent communication to the Client.

1. Project Reporting

• Report to the PM on all matters requiring Client decisions that affect mechanical design, specifications, cost, schedule, or program. The PM will review these issues with the Client and make recommendations supported by analysis and data.
• Attend meetings with the Client, vendors, and trade contractors as needed to keep the project on track.

1. Construction Execution Phase

• Monitor the construction process regularly regarding established schedules and procedures. Assist and make recommendations to maintain and improve construction progress.
• Lead weekly progress meetings with vendors, the design team, and the Client. Prepare and distribute meeting minutes documenting all open issues and decisions made. Review minutes for accuracy and project recordkeeping.
• Serve as the on-site point of contact for Client stakeholders and continuously inform the Client of pending change orders, schedule impacts, and quality implications arising from project activities or decisions.
• Facilitate on-site coordination and interaction of all project team members. When collaboration or communication issues arise, help facilitate reasonable solutions.
• Review construction procedures, staging operations, and logistics plans submitted by vendors and trade contractors, coordinating with the GC Site Superintendents.
• Use best efforts to moderate and facilitate resolutions to problems or issues arising on the project site.
• Monitor vendor systems for controlling work progress and ensure the program supports completion within the time stipulated in the project specifications. Particular attention is expected regarding the transition of information and strategy from site offices to the field.

Required Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience managing the procurement and installation of dry mechanical systems, equipment, and unit operations, including MAUs, RTUs, package and split-system AC units, CRAC units, VAVs, industrial exhaust fans, small and large-bore ductwork of all sizes, types, and materials; structural hangers and vibration isolation; motors and associated VFDs; and I&C/control instruments associated with exhaust systems.
• Experience organizing and reviewing detailed technical data. Familiarity with WBS breakdown and MasterFormat system for process mechanical scopes of work (Div. 23).
• Strong integrity and communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to interact effectively with staff, Clients, Architects/Engineers, subcontractors, and vendors. Proficient at reading and interpreting drawings, specifications, and bid documents.
• Solid knowledge of contracts, cost, scheduling, estimating, and construction means and methods. Familiarity with accounting principles is preferred.
• Strong computer skills and proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. Knowledge in project estimating, clarifications and assumptions, scheduling, and logistics.
• Proficient in Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office Suite. Experience with critical path method scheduling and spend analysis. Experience with project management software such as Procore, Autodesk Cloud, BIM, CxAlloy (or similar Cx programs), and Bluebeam.
