  • Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies to protect schedule, budget, quality, and profitability.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, safety, and continuous improvement across the project team.

This position is ideal for a proven construction leader who has successfully managed large-scale correctional, detention, prison, institutional, or similarly complex projects.

  • Extensive experience with prison, detention center, correctional, or secure government facilities is strongly preferred and may be required.
  • Demonstrated experience leading large multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Strong understanding of project financial management, P&L, cost control, scheduling, contracts, risk management, and project delivery.
  • Advanced proficiency with Primavera P6 or similar scheduling software.
  • Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and maintain strong owner and subcontractor relationships.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory.
  • Willingness to work full-time onsite along the Gulf Coast of Alabama/Florida.
  • Ability and willingness to travel as required for project and company needs.
