• Support punchlist management, deficiency resolution, and field verification/inspection readiness.

Interface Management (Owner / A&E / Contractors)

• Coordinate construction execution with the A&E team: field design clarifications, constructability issues, and redlines/as-builts.
• Participate in coordination meetings, pull planning sessions, and progress reporting (schedule updates, constraint logs, productivity blockers).

• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple trades and contractors on fast-moving projects.
• Working knowledge of GMP/GDP expectations for construction in/near regulated manufacturing areas (material control, cleanliness, change control awareness, turnover discipline).
• Strong safety mindset and familiarity with typical industrial permit-to-work processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with API chemical synthesis facilities and/or process equipment installation (reactors, filter/dryers, centrifuges, solvent handling, contained transfer, etc.).
