• Develop and maintain project execution plans covering construction sequencing, logistics, temporary facilities, equipment access, storage, crane operations, mobilization, and site coordination.
• Support construction budgets, cost estimates, bid packages, contractor scopes, project schedules, procurement activities, and contractor selection.
• Review drawings, specifications, equipment requirements, and contractor proposals to identify constructability concerns, scope gaps, coordination issues, and execution risks before mobilization.
• Coordinate construction activities across civil, structural, architectural, fire protection, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, controls, communications, security, SCADA, monitoring, and equipment-installation scopes.
• Direct field construction activities across contractors and trades, coordinating work fronts, site logistics, sequencing, short-interval planning, and daily execution.
• Maintain the integrated construction schedule, monitor actual progress, identify critical-path risks, and implement recovery plans when milestones are threatened.
• Lead site coordination meetings and maintain clear communication of priorities, constraints, decisions, corrective actions, and project risks.
• Resolve field conflicts and drive RFIs, submittals, design clarifications, and technical decisions to timely resolution.
• Monitor contractor staffing, supervision, productivity, materials, equipment, and contractual performance, while maintaining strong visibility into long-lead procurement and delivery risks.
• Coordinate heavy equipment deliveries, inspections, storage, rigging, crane operations, installation, and preservation requirements.
• Review contractor payment applications, progress quantities, change requests, and supporting documentation in partnership with project and procurement teams.
• Maintain accurate site records, including daily reports, progress photographs, manpower tracking, delivery records, field decisions, and schedule updates.
• Lead punch-list completion, contractor demobilization, record-document requirements, and turnover readiness.
• Manage multiple projects and competing priorities while proactively identifying risks, communicating directly, and ensuring commitments are delivered.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in construction or energy project management, with experience in utilities or modular infrastructure considered a strong advantage.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex contractor networks, large-scale procurement, and multidisciplinary construction programs.
• Strong understanding of permitting, utility coordination, construction processes, and QA/QC requirements.
• Experience coordinating multiple construction trades and technical scopes while maintaining schedule, budget, quality, and safety objectives.
• Proficiency with construction and project management platforms such as Procore, Monday.com, or similar tools.
• Strong ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, contractor proposals, schedules, and technical documentation.
• Excellent leadership, communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Ability to work effectively with incomplete information, make sound decisions, document assumptions, and adapt plans as project conditions change.
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to raise risks early, drive accountability, and follow issues through to resolution.
• Ability and willingness to travel frequently to project sites in Texas and other U.S. locations.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where decisions, priorities, and project requirements can evolve quickly.

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance.
