The portfolio includes complex aerospace facilities such as launch infrastructure, manufacturing, processing, and supporting facilities, as applicable. The role provides operational and technical leadership across financial performance, schedules, subcontracts, design changes, quality, safety, commissioning, and closeout. Assignments are based on business needs, project complexity, and risk.

Coordinate resolution of constraints and track corrective actions to protect contractual commitments. • Preconstruction and design changes. Coordinate with Preconstruction, Project Managers, and design leadership on project turnover, scope clarification, constructability, and design changes. Evaluate cost, schedule, procurement, and contractual impacts before implementation; track required approvals, notices, and owner commitments. • Subcontracts and commercial administration. Review scope completeness, exclusions, buyout status, subcontractor performance, changes, notices, and unresolved commercial issues. Support negotiations, claims avoidance, and contemporaneous documentation within delegated authority. • Organizational support and resources. Identify resource gaps and coordinate timely support from Preconstruction, Accounting, project controls, design, quality, safety, and other functions. Recommend staffing priorities and assignments to the Market Vice President and track resolution of support needs. • Technical leadership. Provide advanced guidance on construction methods, sequencing, building systems, constructability, field conditions, design coordination, and complex construction challenges. Lead resolution of critical technical issues with owners, designers, field leaders, trade partners, and suppliers. • Project controls and documentation. Oversee effective submittal, request-for-information, change-management, document-control, and as-built processes. Monitor critical and overdue items, coordinate required owner, Architect or Engineer of Record, and authority approvals, and intervene where issues threaten execution. • Safety quality and turnover. Work with Project Managers, Superintendents, and designated safety and quality leaders to address deficiencies and verify corrective-action follow-through. Oversee readiness for permits, inspections, testing, commissioning, turnover, owner acceptance, closeout, and completion of required Quality Data Packages. • People and process development.
