The Role

As Construction Manager, you’ll direct and coordinate every active BUILD IT site. You’ll report to the Director of Construction and lead our site supervisors, field staff, and trades to deliver projects safely, on time, on budget, and to spec. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll plan and direct construction activity, manage trades, control costs, and build a field team that runs to a consistent standard.

• Direct and coordinate all active construction sites, keeping projects on schedule, within budget, and to required quality standards.
• Lead, supervise, and mentor site supervisors, field staff, and trades.
• Build and update construction schedules and milestones with the project management team, and address delays quickly.
• Manage construction budgets, track costs, and find savings without compromising quality or safety.
• Select, onboard, and manage subcontractors, and coordinate vendors and suppliers for on-time delivery.
• Review, price, and track change orders, and make sure approvals are in place before changed work proceeds.
• Enforce BUILD IT’s Health & Safety program and COR requirements on every site.
• Run regular site visits to inspect, monitor, and document progress.
• Make sure site supervisors use Procore consistently to log project information, drawings, and documentation.
• Report progress, risks, and changes to the Director of Construction, clients, and the project team.
• Resolve site issues and disputes with trades, clients, and suppliers quickly and professionally.
