About The Position

The Construction Manager manages all projects, including GC and larger-scale P&R and TremCares projects. The role works with assigned superintendents or technicians to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget, and selects and manages subcontractors. The Construction Manager contributes to proposals, specifications, price estimates, schedules, and sales efforts, and provides sales and service support, field resources, and customer-management communication as needed. The position is accountable for project budgets, cost variance, profitability, and quality assurance. It oversees project work from concept, planning, design, bidding, and pre-construction through construction and close-out. The manager sets project timelines and goals, monitors and reports metrics, coordinates with program managers, sales and service support, customer management, and resource management, and directs project managers, technicians, and superintendents. The role also reviews bids, interviews contractors, approves proposals, signs off on project billings, negotiates and approves change orders, and authorizes subcontractor payments and customer billing. The Construction Manager participates in preventive and corrective action processes, including identifying and recording service, process, or quality problems; initiating or recommending solutions; verifying implementation; and controlling further processing, delivery, or installation of non-conforming products until deficiencies are corrected. The position uses eBuilder for project documentation according to policy and ensures appropriate subcontractor notifications and corrective measures under executed agreements. During specification development, the manager selects the WTI Superintendent and approves specification detail drawings. Specification sign-off is also required from the Division Manager and Tremco Sales Representative. The manager conducts and documents pre-bid meetings, distributes meeting materials, publishes and distributes addenda where applicable, and receives and reviews bids and agreements. For pre-construction, the manager provides the project schedule and subcontractor information and coordinates meeting documentation. During construction, the manager reviews daily inspection forms and weekly progress meeting minutes, visits sites as necessary, maintains schedules, performs appropriate site audits, authorizes change orders and payments, and assists the superintendent with construction issues.
