Construction Manager

SOLX HOLDINGS LLC • Aguadilla, PR, PR, PR

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Be Solx's eyes, ears, and authority on the construction site. As Construction Manager, you are the owner's representative over the EPC and general contractor — the person on the ground who holds the physical build to the design, schedule, budget, quality, and safety we require. You will lead field superintendents and field QA/QC and make sure what gets built is what was drawn. This is a hands-on, on-site role for a seasoned builder who has run large, complex projects and knows how to drive contractors without doing their job for them. You will coordinate across every trade — civil, structural, building, MEP, and equipment installation — and keep the work moving, safe, and in spec. You will report directly to the Project Manager. The scope of this role spans the day-to-day field execution of a high-tech manufacturing build-out, including: contractor oversight, field QA/QC, construction safety, schedule adherence, inter-trade coordination, inspections and testing, and commissioning readiness and closeout.

Requirements

• 10+ years in construction management, including owner's-representative or general-contractor superintendent/CM roles on large, complex projects.
• Experience overseeing an EPC or general contractor on projects of $50M+.
• Deep field construction knowledge across civil, structural, and MEP scopes.
• Strong command of construction scheduling, QA/QC, and jobsite safety.
• Ability to read and enforce drawings and specifications and to manage RFIs, submittals, and punch lists.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline — or equivalent field experience.
• Strong field presence and the ability to drive contractors to schedule, quality, and safety without micromanaging.
• Willingness to be based on-site in Puerto Rico for the duration of construction.

Nice To Haves

• Experience on industrial, advanced-manufacturing, cleanroom, or fab construction projects.
• OSHA 30 and/or PMP or equivalent certification.
• Experience delivering projects in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, or other tropical, hurricane-exposed environments.
• Experience with equipment-installation and commissioning-readiness coordination.
• Bilingual English/Spanish.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the owner's representative on site, overseeing the EPC/general contractor and their subcontractors day to day.
• Lead field superintendents and field QA/QC to ensure work is built to drawings, specifications, and quality standards.
• Enforce the construction schedule and sequencing; monitor progress, surface delays early, and drive recovery plans.
• Review and validate contractor progress, pay applications, change orders, and RFIs in coordination with the Project Manager.
• Own field safety oversight; hold all contractors to the site safety program and stop work when conditions require it.
• Coordinate field execution across civil, structural, building, MEP, and equipment-installation trades.
• Manage inspections, materials testing, and commissioning readiness across trades.
• Track and document field conditions, deficiencies, punch lists, and as-built accuracy.
• Escalate risks, quality issues, and cost or schedule impacts to the Project Manager with clear options.
• Support systems turnover, closeout, and handover to commissioning and operations.
• Day-to-day oversight of the EPC/general contractor and trades across a large manufacturing build.
• Field quality control — verifying that installed work matches drawings, specifications, and standards.
• Construction safety on an active, multi-trade site.
• Schedule adherence, progress tracking, and recovery of slipping work.
• Inspections, testing, punch-out, and turnover to commissioning.
