The project brings together multiple Quanta operating companies and subcontractors to deliver power generation, medium voltage distribution, battery energy storage, controls and cybersecurity, civil, mechanical, and commissioning scope on an active Army installation.

 

The Construction Manager provides full-time, on-site superintendence of the work with the authority to act for QGS, consistent with FAR 52.236-6, Superintendence by the Contractor. This role is held by a person separate from the CQC System Manager and the Site Safety and Health Officer, and is accountable for integrating the work of all Quanta operating companies and subcontractors into one coordinated field operation that is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to contract quality requirements.

 

Reporting to the Director, Construction Operations, the Construction Manager partners closely with the Project Manager, CQC System Manager, SSHO, Senior Project Controls Specialist/Scheduler, and Document Control/RMS Admin, and applies QGS field execution standards and the Acquire-Comply-Execute delivery model from mobilization through final acceptance.

What You'll Do

• Safety Leadership: Champion QGS safety programs and a zero-incident culture, and enforce EM 385-1-1, the Accident Prevention Plan, and Activity Hazard Analyses in the field in partnership with the SSHO.
• Quality Control Support: Support the CQC System Manager in executing the USACE three-phase control process (preparatory, initial, and follow-up phases), testing, and deficiency correction, while respecting the independence of the CQC function.
• Schedule and Look-Ahead Planning: Provide field input to the cost-loaded Primavera P6 project schedule in coordination with the Senior Project Controls Specialist/Scheduler, lead weekly look-ahead planning with the operating companies and subcontractors, verify actual progress reported each period, and develop field recovery plans when work falls behind.
• Daily Reporting and Documentation: Ensure daily production and field reporting is accurate, complete, and entered in RMS on time in coordination with the Document Control/RMS Admin, and maintain field records that support quality, safety, progress, and pay estimate documentation.
• Submittals, RFIs, and Changes: Coordinate the field side of submittals, RFIs, and field changes with the Project Manager, confirm approved submittals are in place before work proceeds, and identify differing site conditions and potential changes early so they can be raised with the Government in accordance with the contract.
• Government and Installation Coordination: Serve as the primary field interface with the USACE Resident or Area Office, Government quality assurance representatives, and installation stakeholders, coordinating site access, work hours, planned outages, and utility tie-ins with the Project Manager.
• Site Compliance: Enforce installation access, security, environmental (including stormwater and spill response), and federal labor requirements on site.
• Testing, Commissioning, and Closeout: Coordinate field execution of acceptance testing and commissioning with the commissioning agent, testing firms, and manufacturer representatives, and drive punch list completion, final inspections, and Government acceptance.
