  • Proven P&L responsibility across multiple projects with margin growth
  • Experience leading design-build and hard bid projects end-to-end
  • Strong knowledge of delivery methods including lump sum, GMP, cost-plus, and CM
  • Solid understanding of engineering disciplines, design coordination, and construction execution
  • Experience managing equipment procurement and installation scopes within projects
  • Ability to develop schedules, cost estimates, and execution strategies
  • Demonstrated success mentoring project managers and building high-performing teams
  • Strong client-facing presence with the ability to build long-term relationships
  • Skilled in identifying risk, driving solutions, and maintaining project momentum


This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in complex environments, drives accountability, and consistently delivers results.
