Los Angeles, CA$106k - $181kFull-timePosted 5mo ago
About the role
The Construction Project Manager leads the strategic effort to launch new manufacturing facilities at Hadrian, driving construction execution with the rigor and ownership mindset of an engineering leader. This role sits at the intersection of construction management and factory development, ensuring what gets built matches production needs, and serves as the main communication link between external architects/general contractors and internal Hadrian engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Facility Launch Leadership: Own the end-to-end launch of new manufacturing facilities, from early planning through turnover. Set the strategy, intake requirements, sequence the work, and keep the project moving toward production readiness.
- Field Execution & Contractor Oversight: Serve as the day-to-day Owner's Representative on active construction sites. Translate Hadrian requirements to executable facility designs. Hold General Contractors and subcontractors accountable to schedule, quality, and sequencing. Identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
- Schedule & Problem Solving: Own construction scheduling - managing the critical path and any blockers. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones. Dynamic, production-first schedule needs constant attention and realignment.
- Requirements Partnership: Intake facility requirements from engineering, often driven by production equipment selection and operational flow. Drive engineering requirements or provide clear signal when they are blocking progress or pushing schedule. Push back on requirements that drive unnecessary cost, complexity, or time to the construction project.
- Change Management & Documentation: Manage RFIs, submittals, pay applications, and change orders. Proficient in Procore for change order and drawing management, and familiar with Bluebeam for markups and document control. Collaborate with digital twin/CAD team to ensure alignment with latest facility design.
- Design Feedback: Participate in design reviews for current and future phases. Translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback to avoid costly problems.
- Commissioning & Turnover: Sequence inspections, testing, and commissioning to avoid downstream delays. Support documentation and turnover packages for regulated manufacturing environments.
