Develop, maintain, and report against detailed project schedules; proactively identify critical-path risks and drive recovery plans.
Own budget management for assigned scopes — tracking commitments, forecasting cost-to-complete, reviewing pay applications, and managing change orders.
Lead and document project meetings, coordinate field activities, and resolve constructability and interface conflicts between disciplines.
Champion a zero-incident safety culture and ensure contractor compliance with site EHS requirements.
Coordinate closely with engineering, commissioning/qualification, and project stakeholders to align construction with downstream turnover needs.
Manage RFIs, submittals, and field changes; maintain accurate project documentation and reporting.
Drive timely, organized project closeout including punch list, as-builts, and turnover packages.

Demonstrated experience managing or leading construction on large-scale capital projects in the $100M+ range.

Proven ability to manage general contractors and multiple trade partners in a fast-paced field environment.

Excellent communication, coordination, and stakeholder-management skills.
Proficiency with project management and scheduling tools (e.g., Procore, P6, MS Project, Bluebeam).
Ability to be onsite full-time in Lebanon, IN for the duration of the engagement.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience on pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences, or other regulated/cGMP construction projects.
Familiarity with the construction-to-commissioning/qualification (CQV) handoff on regulated facilities.
