SUMMARY:
Manage all aspects of construction projects and maintenance activities on multiple complex multi-million dollar projects critical to SRS operations. Responsible for a variety of less significant projects managed by less qualified project managers from conceptual design to completion, with primary responsibility for safety, quality, schedule, and cost. Safety is a primary responsibility in every job performed. Obtain safety training, obey safety rules, and make safety an integral part of each task. Take the necessary steps to stop work if continuing the job is unsafe or will create an unsafe condition. Responsible for managing the physical construction of all assigned projects and maintenance orders, ensuring that each job is completed safely and within cost and schedule requirements. Obtain and assign exempt personnel to each job, or rely on the technical department manager (e.g., project controls, supervision, etc.) to identify personnel for assignments, optimize manpower, and provide leadership by setting and maintaining goals, priorities, standards of performance, and the philosophies of construction management. Ensure that construction efficiency is optimized by providing construction input and involvement in projects throughout the conceptual design phases, as well as during design, construction turnover, and completion phases of each project. Assign and manage personnel to serve on project teams and direct review boards to develop construction strategies, design reviews, cost and schedule guidance, and other input opportunities as the project progresses. Establish and control costs, schedules, and technical baselines while providing effective management of project staff and matrix personnel to control these baselines. Manage professional and nonexempt employees, including career development, motivation, performance reviews, and salary administration. Initiate and frequently deliver concise and accurate oral and written presentations to internal and external customers regarding construction status, changes, and new approaches, including complex technical, organizational, and financial issues. Conduct highly complex analyses of problems involving construction activities. Develop new and innovative alternative action strategies that enable the early achievement of milestones. Perform risk analyses and provide decision authority for defining and approving corrective actions and establishing priorities. These responsibilities describe the primary elements of the job as a whole, not any one position in its entirety.
