How You Will Make an Impact:

The Senior Construction Manager owns construction delivery for assigned power generation projects across the full lifecycle: pre-construction planning, site access and real estate, labor force planning, early works, contractor mobilization, execution oversight, and turnover to commissioning. This position carries a facility execution emphasis: the primary focus is leading construction of engine halls and associated electrical facilities from mobilization through mechanical completion and turnover, while remaining involved in pre-construction and early works from the start and working as one team with the Senior Construction Manager focused on the front end. The role is Atlas's designated construction representative to contractors for whatever scope it is assigned.

Responsibilities

Lead pre-construction planning for assigned projects, including the construction execution plan, site logistics plan, laydown and crane strategy, and constructability and sequencing input to design reviews while changes are still inexpensive.

Own site access and logistics: haul route surveys, heavy haul and oversize permits, road use agreements, entrance permits, and delivery sequencing for major equipment.

Manage construction real estate needs, including laydown and staging leases, temporary construction easements, craft parking, and construction boundaries with adjacent third party work.

Lead labor force planning: build and maintain the manpower curve, assess regional craft availability, and set the craft housing, per diem, and local hire strategy with construction contractors.

Define, procure, and manage early works packages such as clearing, grading, drainage, stormwater controls, temporary power and water, site security, and aggregate sourcing.

Support contractor selection with construction execution evaluation, mobilization readiness reviews, and schedule realism assessments.

Serve as Atlas's designated construction representative to construction contractors for assigned projects or stages, including weekly construction meetings, look ahead reviews, and issue escalation.

Direct assigned Construction Managers and field staff, set daily reporting and progress verification standards, and assign coverage across projects, stages, and buildings.

Verify contractor progress against the schedule and recommend or withhold pay application approval in coordination with Project Controls and QA/QC.

Coordinate field changes, RFIs, and design clarifications between construction contractors and engineering, and ensure dispositions are timely and documented.

Coordinate major equipment delivery, installation, and care, custody, and control transfer with the CFE Logistics & Materials Coordinator and construction contractors.

Monitor manpower, productivity, and schedule recovery plans and hold contractors to commitments.

Enforce Atlas safety expectations on site for all contractors, review incident reports, and exercise stop work authority.

Coordinate permit conditions affecting construction (stormwater, air, county, and utility) with the permitting consultant and ensure they are reflected in construction scopes and field practice.

Lead mechanical completion walkdowns and the construction to commissioning turnover of each system with the Systems Completion & Turnover Coordinator.

Review contractor claims, notices, and change requests with the Contracts function and provide construction fact finding.

Report construction status, risks, and decisions needed to the Director and project leadership.

Other duties as assigned.

How You Will Stand Out

You have run construction on a billion dollar job and you know what the fourth month looks like before it arrives.

You get involved in the front end because you know the execution problems are created there.

You verify progress in the field, not in the pay application.

You hold contractors to their word without burning the relationship you need next month.

You hand systems to commissioning complete, with records, and on the date you said.

You work as one team with your peer Senior Construction Manager, and contractors never hear two Atlas answers.
