  • Proven track record of delivering complex, multi-phase developments on time and within budget.
  • Strong knowledge of concrete structures, steel framing, curtain wall systems, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) integration.
  • Familiarity with advanced construction technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), scheduling software (Primavera P6, MS Project), and project management platforms (Procore, PlanGrid).
  • Ability to lead diverse teams of superintendents, foremen, subcontractors, and tradespeople.
  • Skilled in conflict resolution, negotiation, and motivating teams under high-pressure conditions.
  • Deep understanding of OSHA standards, Miami-Dade County building codes, and Florida-specific permitting processes.
  • Commitment to enforcing a zero-incident safety culture across all project phases.
  • Experience managing multimillion-dollar budgets, tracking costs, and optimizing resource allocation.
  • Ability to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality or safety.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred.
  • Professional certifications such as OSHA 30, PMP (Project Management Professional), or LEED accreditation are highly desirable.
