• Proactively bring up complex construction challenges involving cost, safety, quality, and timeline tradeoffs.
• Apply experience and education to think critically and apply standard processes to ensure each project is optimized for success.
• Manage relationships with external contractors, vendors, and local authorities to ensure performance, compliance, and timely approvals.
• Interact with internal peers and leaders to share updates, resolve roadblocks, and influence project decisions.
• Transition projects from external partners (e.g., GCs) to internal Launch teams.
• Ensure that contracted resources deliver work to meet duration and quality targets, addressing and ensuring the correction of under-performance issues.
• Inform developers and contractors of projected changes in resource or work demand so that they can take appropriate action.
• Identify and resolve clashes, design misses, and schedule conflicts with other execution teams.
• Comprehensive budget tracking, forecasting, and management of assigned expansion, remodel, and new build projects.
• Evaluate appropriate procurement and contracting methods for specific projects.
• RFP generation, solicitation, and evaluation. Own contract negotiation and management for all third-party consultants and contractors.
• Uphold Chewy’s standards for safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency throughout the build process.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or related field. CCM, PMP, or similar certification is a plus.
• 5+ years of experience managing construction projects (industrial, commercial, retail, or fulfillment), preferably as an Owner’s Representative.
• The ability to travel up to 60% of your time.
• Strong understanding of construction methods, procurement methods, contracts, permitting, and compliance. Proficiency in scheduling and PM tools (e.g., Procore, MS Project, Bluebeam, AutoCAD).
• Ability to manage complex problems, and influence peers and partners through expertise and clear communication.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. Detail-oriented with strong organizational and time-management skills.
