Client, consultant, and vendor management Serve as the primary project contact for owners, construction managers, consultants, vendors, and subcontractors while keeping communication timely, professional, and solutions-oriented.

• Responsibility to elevate manpower shortages, scope risk, client issues, budget pressure, delay events, and safety concerns fast enough for leadership to act before margin or schedule is materially impacted.
• Shared decision-making with operations, field leadership, accounting, and senior management on recovery plans, subcontract strategy, major purchase commitments, change order positions, billing timing, and client-facing issue resolution.

Measure of Success

• Gross margin protection, job-cost accuracy, and forecast reliability
• Timely billing, approved change orders, and collection support
• Schedule adherence, production continuity, and recovery of slippage
• Clean documentation, contract compliance, and strong meeting discipline
• Safe, organized sites with quality work and low rework
• Strong client communication, efficient closeout, and repeat work potential

Preferred Experience And Profile

• Project management experience in facade restoration, waterproofing, roofing, concrete restoration, masonry, balconies, terraces, interiors, or related specialty construction environments.
• Strong command of job cost, budgeting, forecasting, billing, cost-to-complete, and the operating decisions that affect margin and cash flow.
• Able to read drawings and specifications, manage RFIs and submittals, write clear change order narratives, and maintain organized project records.
• Comfortable leading coordination with superintendents, foremen, safety, vendors, subcontractors, consultants, and ownership-side representatives.
• Strong field instincts, strong written communication, and the ability to keep projects moving in occupied, logistically tight, or schedule-sensitive environments; industry-earned project leadership is valued as highly as formal academic credentials.
