Responsibilities

Manage full project lifecycle including scope development, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, subcontractor management, installation, and closeout.
Oversee on-site activities to ensure compliance with safety standards, engineering specifications, and construction best practices.
Work directly with field supervisors, contractors, and craft labor to resolve technical issues and maintain project progress.
Lead job site meetings, coordinate daily/weekly project activities, and ensure communication flows between the field, engineering, and management.

Ensure all project work meets industrial standards and regulatory requirements (OSHA, NEC, structural, mechanical, etc.).
