  • Direct and support field supervision to ensure safety, quality, and schedule compliance.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, engineers, and inspectors.
  • Conduct progress meetings, site walks, and reporting to leadership and clients.
  • Collaborate with estimating and engineering during pre-bid and proposal stages.
  • Track project performance and generate closeout documentation, lessons learned, and as-builts.
  • Promote TCB’s culture of safety, accountability, and precision in all project activities.

Qualifications

  • 7–12 years of leadership experience in mechanical construction; hydro or power generation preferred.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple contracts and field teams simultaneously.
  • Strong knowledge of turbines, gates, valves, and hydro-mechanical assemblies.
  • Experience with cost forecasting, earned value tracking, and subcontract management.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Bluebeam, and scheduling tools (Primavera or MS Project).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent experience.
