• Schedule
• Budget & margin
• Cost-to-complete
• Change management
• Customer trust

These projects move fast. Drawings change. Scope evolves. Customers expect speed and precision. Your job is to keep the project profitable and on track without slowing the work down.

• Acting as the CEO of your project with full P&L accountability.
• Building and managing detailed cost-to-complete models.
• Translating drawings into quantities, volumes, labor, and cost impact.

• Partnering closely with superintendents and field crews.
• Driving margin through disciplined financial and operational decisions.

• Demonstrated ownership of multi-million-dollar project budgets.
• Ability to be onsite at the project site. Typical project durations last 12-18 months.
• Comfortable with project calculations: volumes, unit rates, productivity.
