New Construction Manager
About The Position
Mural Group is leading a search for a long-established Cleveland marine company that has built most of its tug fleet in its own shipyard and is reopening the shipyard’s new-construction division. The New Construction Manager will lead the program from planning through delivery, first re-establishing the division and its operating processes and then managing ongoing construction. The initial program includes two new tugs. This is a stable, shore-based, on-site role at a single shipyard location in Cleveland, Ohio, rather than a travel-based position. The manager will oversee program delivery, processes, schedules, budgets, safety, quality, crews, vendors, subcontractors, and reporting to shipyard and company leadership.

- 5 or more years supervising multi-trade crews and foremen.
- Direct ownership of schedule, budget, and safety on a vessel or industrial build.
- Working knowledge of structural steel and marine fabrication, and coordination of welding, piping, mechanical, electrical, coatings, and outfitting.
- Ability to read and work from drawings, specifications, and fabrication packages.

- Experience standing up or relaunching a new-construction program.

- Navy, Coast Guard, or naval-industrial background.
- Experience leading union workforces.
- Experience with classification-society or government-contract quality requirements.
Responsibilities
- Lead vessel construction projects from planning through delivery, beginning with two new tugs.

- Build and manage the master schedule, planning labor, equipment, and materials against it.
- Own the program budget, job-cost tracking, and change management.
- Lead shipyard safety, including hot work and confined space, and stop unsafe or nonconforming work.
- Coordinate inspections, QC documentation, and resolution of nonconformances.
- Lead and develop foremen and multi-trade crews, including fitters, welders, pipefitters, electricians, and outfitting personnel.
- Select, manage, and hold accountable outside suppliers and subcontractors.
- Keep shipyard and company leadership informed about schedule, cost, and risk.
