Proven experience coordinating general contractors, subcontractors, and multiple trades on concurrent job sites

Responsibilities

Manage day-to-day field execution of construction, tenant improvement, and capital projects across CHAOS’s manufacturing, lab, and office facilities.
Serve as primary on-site point of contact for general contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers; run pre-construction, progress, and closeout meetings.
Review and enforce adherence to construction documents, specifications, applicable building codes and local AHJ/permit requirements.
Track project schedules and budgets; flag risks, delays, and change orders to the Director of Facilities and executive stakeholders with supporting documentation.

Coordinate job site safety compliance (OSHA, EHS protocols) and enforce contractor safety plans across active work areas.
Partner with the FM SME superintendent group to sequence trade work and validate building systems tie-ins during construction.
Coordinate with EHS/Compliance and cleared personnel on any build requirements touching secure or classified spaces, without independently managing classified scope.
