- Monitor construction progress, quality, logistics, safety performance, and impacts to airport and airline operations.
- Review pay applications, change requests, RFIs, submittals, and schedule updates and provide recommendations for approval, rejection, or corrective action.
- Coordinate site logistics, including airfield and roadway interfaces, catering-vehicle access, laydown areas, fire access, and employee access.
- Coordinate equipment installation and construction activities with commissioning and operational readiness requirements.
- Support simulations, trial operations, and the operational cutover to help ensure a successful transition into facility operations.
- Lead punch-list activities, corrective work, record documentation, and construction closeout.
- Coordinate with project management, design, project controls, airport representatives, contractors, and other stakeholders to resolve field issues and maintain project progress.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements

- Demonstrated experience administering Design-Build contracts and overseeing complex construction projects.
- Experience delivering construction projects within an active airport or similarly operationally constrained environment, including an understanding of airfield access, badging, security requirements, and operational interfaces.
- Experience coordinating construction activities involving specialized equipment, industrial facilities, process systems, or complex MEP infrastructure is preferred.
- Experience with commissioning, equipment installation, turnover, and operational transition.
- Strong knowledge of construction documentation, including RFIs, submittals, pay applications, change management, schedules, and closeout requirements.
- Ability to coordinate multiple contractors, vendors, consultants, and stakeholders while maintaining project objectives and minimizing impacts to ongoing operations.
- Standing or sitting for long periods; must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at times and spend extended hours in front of a computer screen.
