Construction Lead

Position Summary

The Constructability Lead serves as the primary point of contact (POC) between the field and the VDC (Virtual Design & Construction) department. This role supports both teams from preconstruction through final as-builts, ensuring electrical designs are buildable, coordinated, and accurately translated into construction and installation documents. The Constructability Lead brings strong field experience and technical expertise to proactively identify issues, improve constructability, and streamline coordination across project teams.

This position is critical to bridging the gap between design, modeling, and field execution on complex electrical construction projects, including mission critical, data center, and commercial work. This is a safety sensitive position.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the primary liaison between field leadership and the VDC department from preconstruction through project closeout.
• Support constructability reviews to ensure models and drawings reflect real-world installation means and methods.
• Translate field input, sequencing, and installation preferences into actionable direction for VDC modeling.
• Create, maintain, and manage conduit schedules throughout the life of the project.
• Create and maintain installation drawing logs to track issued drawings, revisions, and field use.
• Provide detailed PDF markups and redlines to guide VDC modeling, coordination, and updates.
• Review installation drawings, shop drawings, and coordination models for accuracy and constructability.
• Review electrical submittals and drawings for compliance with contract documents and field constructability.
• Create, review, and manage Requests for Information (RFIs) to clarify design intent and resolve conflicts.
• Support timely resolution of design and coordination issues in collaboration with project management and engineering teams.
• Lead internal coordination meetings involving field supervision, VDC, project management, and prefabrication (if applicable).
• Participate in preconstruction, coordination, and constructability review meetings.
• Communicate changes, impacts, and constructability concerns clearly to all stakeholders.
• Support preconstruction planning, early design reviews, and constructability assessments.
• Assist with transition from coordination drawings to installation drawings and final as-built documentation.
• Ensure as-built drawings accurately reflect field conditions and final installations.
• Performs other duties as needed to support projects, operations, and the department.

Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience in the electrical construction industry.
• Journeyman Electrician (JW) license.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in field supervision and/or redlining installation drawings.
• Strong understanding of electrical installation practices, sequencing, and coordination.
• Highly proficient with Bluebeam Revu, Autodesk platforms (AutoCAD, Revit), and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, and one-line diagrams.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across field, VDC, and management teams.

Skills & Abilities

• Experience on mission critical, data center, or other highly coordinated electrical projects.
• Familiarity with prefabrication and modular construction workflows.
• Experience supporting projects from preconstruction through closeout and as-builts.

Work Environment & Physical Demands

May work inside or outside. Possible exposure to hot and cold temperatures, in all-weather elements such as rain, heat, cold and snow. This position also requires work at extreme heights, in areas that are under construction, or in restricted areas such as a switchgear room, manhole, utility tunnel, crawl space, or attic, in confined spaces, and on slippery or uneven surfaces; works on ladders, scaffolds, aerial lifts, catwalks, in ditches and excavations; works in and around single and multi-story buildings with all exposures typical of a heavy construction site, including portable sanitary facilities.

• Must be able to bend, stoop, squat, crawl, climb, kneel, balance, push, pull and reach overhead.
• Lift 51 pounds, routinely. Constantly move about on the feet.
• Climb ladders of all types.
• Complete full day assignments involving overhead work.
• Must be able to make transition from employee parking area or street into construction work areas and to access all levels of the building, even if the only means of access is by O.S.H.A. approved site construction ladder or stairs still under construction, but acceptable for use.
• Must be capable of securing tools and materials from storage areas to complete assigned tasks.
• Possess good vision, normal or corrected. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision to discern color coded wires, peripheral vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus.
• Possess good hearing, normal or corrected.
• Must be able to wear personal protective equipment (hard hat, safety glasses, safety vest) at all times.
• Must be able to work 8 hours a day, 40 hours per week, and overtime as required and night shifts, as needed. This position requires flexible work hours. In order to get a project completed on time, this position is often required to work overtime, weekends, and night shifts.
