Project Executive – Healthcare Construction

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a leading construction organization to identify an accomplished Project Executive with deep healthcare construction experience to lead major, high-value projects and play a key role in strengthening client partnerships and driving future business growth.

This is an opportunity for a seasoned construction leader who can operate at both the strategic and operational levels—providing executive oversight of complex projects, developing strong project teams, maintaining trusted client relationships, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, successfully, and profitably.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record managing healthcare construction projects valued at $75 million or more, along with the leadership presence and business acumen to navigate complex project environments, engage senior stakeholders, and help secure future work.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Lead complex healthcare projects: Provide overall executive oversight from preconstruction through final closeout, ensuring projects meet client expectations, financial objectives, and delivery commitments.
  • Build lasting client partnerships: Serve as a primary point of contact for key clients, fostering relationships that support customer satisfaction, repeat business, and long-term growth.
  • Drive project performance: Maintain accountability for budgets, cost management, contract administration, change requests, pricing, and overall project profitability.
  • Support business development: Participate in project pursuits, review proposals, contribute to RFP responses, and help identify opportunities to expand existing client relationships.
  • Develop high-performing teams: Lead, mentor, and support project managers and other team members while establishing clear expectations and promoting accountability.
  • Manage stakeholder relationships: Build productive relationships with clients, project partners, and community stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Navigate project complexity: Balance multiple priorities, resolve challenges proactively, and maintain strong communication across teams and organizational levels.
  • Promote operational excellence: Reinforce organizational standards, professional conduct, inclusive workplace practices, and consistent execution across assigned projects.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field; equivalent qualifications may be considered.
  • At least 10 years of construction industry experience, including oversight of large-scale healthcare projects valued at $50 million or more.
  • Demonstrated success leading complex projects from early development and preconstruction through execution and closeout.
  • Experience overseeing project financials, contracts, change management, and commercial performance.
  • A strong understanding of construction law fundamentals, contract requirements, and standard business practices.
  • Proven ability to lead and develop project teams while managing multiple priorities and competing demands.
  • Strong client-facing skills, with the ability to build credibility, resolve concerns, and maintain long-term business relationships.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, project management tools, and relevant web-based applications.
  • A professional, solutions-oriented approach, sound judgment, and the ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment.
  • Valid driver's license.

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $190,000–$225,000 annually

The role is also eligible for an incentive compensation plan, providing additional earning potential based on the applicable plan terms.

The benefits package includes a range of offerings designed to support employees and their families, such as:

  • Medical, prescription drug, and dental coverage, with vision coverage included at no additional cost.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching contributions.
  • Paid time off, holidays, and additional paid leave.
  • Employer-paid life, accidental death and dismemberment, and disability insurance.
  • Mental health resources and work-life support services.
  • Tuition reimbursement and adoption assistance.
  • Gym membership discounts.
