You keep a project running steadily. Because of your careful planning and monitoring, you are more readily able to prioritize, problem solve, and adapt. From pre-construction onwards, you assume accountability to complete a construction effort within the budget and schedule and according to the contract. You also achieve the project’s design standards and most importantly, you do it all safely. You act as the daily point person for the Cranshaw, client, and design teams and trade partners. You confidently take charge with a “can do” attitude but crucially, you also know how to delegate. You have equipped your team with the skills and materials to carry out their assignments and while you monitor their progress and offer support, you don’t micro-manage. “Trust but verify,” is your motto. You’re detailed and organized – keeping track of and monitoring in real-time labor, materials, equipment, budget, and schedule. You haven’t met a spreadsheet you didn’t like and internal and external reporting invigorate you. You are forward-thinking and anticipatory. You don’t just plan for today, but tomorrow and several weeks out to keep your project on track. You foresee risks, communicate them and solve for corrective actions along with your project executive, superintendent, team members, subcontractors, and vendors.

• Ensure timely and accurate completion of financial processes, controls, and reports – g., internal budgets, cost forecasting, billings, collections, subcontractor payments, change order preparation and resolution, contracts, etc. –  with an eye to quickly identifying potential/existing issues that could lead to subpar financial performance
• Work closely with field staff and subcontractors to establish an achievable baseline schedule and updates
• Enjoy developing your staff – Assistant Project Managers and Project Coordinators – by giving them direction and equipping them with the necessary tools, but allowing them to execute independently
• Share Lessons Learned and best practices company-wide; e.g., report on products, subcontractor performance, etc.
• Willingly contribute to the bidding, proposal, and interview process
• Promote business development through association involvement and networking opportunities
• Make safety your first and over-riding priority
