Responsibilities

  • Establish, maintain, and continuously improve construction standards, quality benchmarks, material and assembly specifications, and execution criteria by facility type, including office, warehouse, and production facilities.
  • Own construction best practices and lessons learned for each facility type, ensuring new projects benefit from prior field knowledge, and enforce construction standards across new development projects and existing facility renovations.
  • Own general contractor and trade partner relationships across the project portfolio by qualifying firms, evaluating capabilities and capacity, defining scopes of work, and managing performance.
  • Develop and maintain a qualified bench of general contractors by project type, size, and geography, matching contractors to project scopes.

  • Partner with the Design Manager to evaluate design documents for constructability, cost implications, and field execution feasibility.
  • Provide construction perspective during design milestone reviews to identify potential conflicts, sequencing challenges, and cost drivers before they reach the field.
  • Lead construction closeout for completed projects, including punch list management, commissioning oversight, warranty documentation, and operational turnover coordination.
  • Collaborate with the Design Manager on post-occupancy and post-project reviews.
  • Ensure closeout captures as-built documentation, attic stock inventories, warranty schedules, and construction lessons learned.
  • Translate field observations and stakeholder feedback into improvements to standards, specifications, and construction processes.
  • Directly supervise the Construction Project Manager, providing mentorship, professional development direction, work assignment management, and performance oversight.
