Accuracy & Consistency:

• Follow company planning standards and documentation best practices.
• Track commitments, cost-to-complete, and variances for assigned trades; propose cost-control options and value improvements.
• Maintain scope matrices and quality/conformance logs to ensure first-pass quality and reduce rework.

Schedule:

• Build two- to six-week look-ahead plans for assigned trades; sequence with the GC to hit milestones.
• Monitor partner capacity, inspections, and lead times to ensure just-in-time delivery.
• Run weekly production huddles for assigned trades; track commitments and percent-complete; remove blockers early.

Team Coordination & Collaboration:

• Lead the PC; set priorities, coach, and review outcomes. Coordinate with CPM, GC, Quality Manager, and other Project Managers to support cadence and dovetailing of work with others.
• Keep stakeholders aligned through decision logs, action trackers, and risk registers; escalate issues with options and impacts for further review.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or related field.
• 7+ years managing related construction trades in residential or light commercial construction; design-build experience preferred.
• Procore (or equivalent) experience required; strong proficiency with scheduling and cost control tools (e.g., MS Project/Primavera, Excel).
