At IPS, you'll apply your knowledge, skills and passion to make a difference in the lives of people, building manufacturing facilities for pharmaceutical, biotech, and animal health clients. We're looking for a dynamic Construction Project Director with an uncompromising commitment to safety and quality to join our Project Delivery andConstruction team. You'll oversee multiple EPCMV Project Teams' day-to-day execution within the Central region. Your focus will be on the support of EPCMV and CM services sales, overseeing the detailed execution of projects by teams from initiation to close out, development of staff, and operational performance.

Based out of our office located in Cary, North Carolina, you'll lead construction project teams to help them deliver projects successfully - safely, on time, and on budget. Projects will range from tenant improvements to major manufacturing facilities. You'll guide project delivery teams, establishing goals and execution plans and monitoring for performance. You'll also oversee their development of contracts and subcontracts and estimates and budgets. Regular review of project performance will occur, and you'll work with PMs to resolve any project cost, schedule, or quality issues. You will also provide day-to-day direction of all project-specific Project Delivery group operations, including preconstruction, estimating, procurement, project management, construction site management, and construction site safety. Additionally, you will direct the change management process, providing work-in-place analysis with the project services group.

As the Construction Project Director, your team will look to you for hiring, training, and development of project delivery staff. Site visits will occur, as needed, to monitor construction progress. You'll develop new business, working with senior leadership on proposals and presentations, and helping to grow our presence in the Central region. You'll act as a secondary point of contact to PMs for clients. Collaboration is key, as you work with preconstruction, project controls, procurement, quality, and safety by allocating resources. If project risks are identified, you'll work to mitigate those in partnership with senior leadership.
