• Manage the commercial change order process, ensuring all impacts to schedule and cost are documented and negotiated per MassDOT/MBTA standards.
• Facilitate "What-If" scenarios to mitigate delays caused by urban site constraints or utility relocations.

Candidate Profile

• 15 years of heavy civil project controls experience. You must have "boots on the ground" experience with a major GC on projects exceeding $250M.
• Deep knowledge of Rail (Signal/OCS/Track), Bridge construction (Self-perform steel/concrete), and Electrification infrastructure.
• Familiarity with the Boston/Northeast infrastructure landscape (MassDOT, MBTA, or similar agencies) is highly preferred.
• Proven ability to mentor a team of 4-6 project controls professionals and communicate complex data to executive stakeholders and joint venture partners.
