- Establish a consistent way to review jobs so teams can spot schedule, contract and cost risks early and follow through on decisions. Set clear expectations for safety, quality and compliance across sites.
- Work with estimating, finance and business development to decide which opportunities the team can deliver well and what people and resources larger projects will require. Step in on significant client and project issues.
Experience you bring
- Senior operations leadership with an ICI general contractor, with responsibility for several active projects and their combined financial results.
- Examples of improving forecast reliability, schedule performance or profitability across a portfolio, and of developing project and site leaders who can sustain those improvements.
- Sound judgment on contracts, project risk and client escalations. Education in construction, engineering or business, or equivalent experience.
