- Monitor project costs and maintain accurate forecasts of committed and anticipated expenditures.
- Maintain strict control over scope changes, change orders, schedule impacts, and cost overruns.
- Conduct regular job-site meetings and inspections and maintain direct visibility into day-to-day construction progress.
- Identify potential problems early and take responsibility for resolving issues before they affect budget, schedule, or operations.
- Coordinate permitting, inspections, utilities, consultants, and other governmental or third-party requirements.
- Coordinate construction activities with Estate operations to minimize disruption to guests, employees, events, restaurants, and hotel operations.
- Review contractor payment applications and verify percentage of completion before recommending payment.

What We Are Looking For
This is a project-delivery position, not simply an administrative construction role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of the entire process, is regularly present in the field, understands where every project stands, anticipates problems, controls costs, holds contractors accountable, and drives projects through completion.
Success in this position is straightforward: quality projects delivered safely, on schedule, within approved budgets, and with no surprises.
