• Preconstruction and Design:
  • Gather (and help define) user requirements for nascent construction projects.
  • Generate accurate cost estimates at all stages of a project lifecycle (concept, test fits, schematic designs, construction drawings, etc.).
  • Manage relationships with consultants, regional contractors, and suppliers as needed to support individual project cost estimates.
  • Perform early site due diligence to assist executive go/no-go decisions as needed.
  • Assemble and lead project design teams (architects and consultants).

  • Structure contracts to appropriately allocate risk, protect the company’s interests, and minimize potential disputes.
• Stakeholder Management:
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction-related matters.
  • Advise in all phases of any given project: programming, design, pre-construction, closeout, and operations—not just construction.

• Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in construction management.
• Strong background in design advisory, pre-construction, and project kickoff/setup.
• Extreme orderliness when it comes to document control.
• Excellent project management skills, with a proven track record of delivering large-scale projects on time and within budget.
• In-depth knowledge of construction means and methods, materials, MEP systems and building codes.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
