What You’ll Do

• 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.

• Work closely with Finance/FP&A for cash flow forecasting.
• Prepare and present financial reports to senior executives.
• Contracting Strategy:
• Develop and implement creative contracting structures that align incentives, reduce change order disputes, and set up projects for success.
• Establish commercial terms that drive transparency, predictability, and fairness throughout the project lifecycle.
• 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.

• In-depth knowledge of construction means and methods, materials, MEP systems and building codes.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
• Competency in CPM scheduling methods, construction document review, and contract administration.
• Willingness to travel at 25%-50% of the time (international travel included).
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced manufacturing-related projects
