Description

The role includes supervisory responsibilities, directing the activities of the assigned team and advising less experienced subcontract personnel unless operating independently. A four‑year degree in Business Administration or related field is typical, though 12–15 years of equivalent construction subcontracting experience may substitute for formal education.

Typical duties involve developing project subcontracting plans, early‑planning documents, and bid/inquiry packages; clarifying scope and material requirements with engineering and construction management; negotiating contracts, change orders, and claim settlements; managing subcontract schedules and client presentations; and ensuring accurate cost forecasting and progress tracking. The incumbent also oversees safety, quality, productivity, and cost aspects of subcontractor work, mentors the subcontract management team, conducts annual performance reviews, and supports system turnover processes.

• Develop and maintain project subcontracting plans, early‑planning documents, and bid/inquiry packages.
• Consult with engineering and construction teams to define scope, material requirements, and technical suitability.

• Manage subcontract schedules, cost forecasting, progress tracking, and commercial reporting.
• Oversee safety, quality, productivity, and cost performance of subcontractor work.
• Mentor and supervise subcontract management personnel, conducting performance reviews.
• Maintain supplier qualification processes and update supplier databases.

Requirements

Candidates must have at least ten years of subcontracting experience, strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, and deep knowledge of project subcontracting plans and early‑planning documentation.

Additional expertise involves supplier qualification, maintaining supplier databases, overseeing safety, quality, productivity, and cost performance, and mentoring junior staff throughout the cradle‑to‑grave subcontract lifecycle.
