• Experience managing multiple sub-trades simultaneously, with strong knowledge of MEP, HVAC systems, structural elements, and building automation interfaces.
• Practical experience developing and driving two- to three-week rolling look-ahead schedules using critical path methodology (CPM).
• Experience working directly with municipal inspectors, fire marshals, and third-party testing agencies, with a record of achieving first-time pass rates.
• Hands-on experience managing site-level safety programs, conducting JHAs, enforcing PPE adherence, and leading weekly toolbox talks.

• SWPPP, rigging, crane signaling, or aerial lift certifications.

Responsibilities

• Direct daily on-site operations, subcontractor sequencing, laydown yard logistics, material deliveries, and equipment positioning.
