Collaborate with People & Culture regarding recruitment, performance evaluation, succession planning, and coaching for all PM, PC, and Field staff.

Set expectations for and support the development of clear KPIs and scorecards for all direct reports.

Act as the senior contact for major clients, consultants, and partners when required, including providing long-term account oversight for repeat clients.

Represent the company at high-level project meetings, steering committees, and conflict resolution discussions.

Support business development by attending interviews, assisting with proposals, and validating operational capacity for upcoming projects.

Review and monitor master schedules across the division, collaborating with project and field leaders to identify and resolve delays or resourcing conflicts.

Lead high-stakes claims, disputes, or crisis situations, ensuring timely and strategic resolutions.

Validate project forecasts, cost-to-complete reports, labour tracking, and earned value metrics to ensure project health and financial accountability.

Review significant change orders and claims with project and site leadership before escalation or submission.

Ensure alignment between field costs, project budgets, and contract deliverables.

Partner with the Estimating, Preconstruction, Safety, HR, and Finance teams to support project success.

Ensure safety and quality processes are integrated into all phases of construction.

Establish and monitor division-wide quality benchmarks, conducting site audits and tracking client satisfaction scores.

Lead the adoption of new construction technologies and digital tools, ensuring project teams are trained and utilizing them effectively.

Prepare and deliver quarterly performance reports to the VP and executive team, summarizing operational health, resource forecasts, and strategic priorities.

Develop a multi-year workforce plan for PM, PC, and field leadership positions to support future project pipelines.

Adhere to all company policies and procedures.

Perform any other duties that may be assigned, whether specifically or generally related to the role.
