Role Summary

The Construction Administrator leads consistent, high‑quality Construction Administration (CA) across multiple active projects, ensuring RFIs, submittals, field reports, change orders, and issue resolution are managed proactively and closed out completely. The role brings strong “how it gets built” expertise—sequencing, means‑and‑methods realities, and common failure points—to help teams make sound decisions during construction, protect life safety and owner value, and avoid rework or repeat issues. It also strengthens BHDP performance by capturing lessons learned and translating them into practical standards, tools, and coaching, while building trusted relationships with owners, contractors, and consultants and maintaining disciplined documentation, contract boundaries, and controlled CA effort.

Responsibilities

• Provide consistent, high‑quality construction administration across multiple active projects simultaneously.
• Maintain clear priorities, meet response timelines, and ensure field documentation, submittals, RFIs, change orders, and issue resolution are managed to completion without items slipping or reappearing.
• Build and share practical, repeatable BHDP knowledge about project construction—means/methods realities, sequencing, typical failure points, and effective documentation and communication.
• Capture lessons learned and convert them into tools, standards, and coaching that improve future design and CA performance.
• Identify and resolve construction‑phase issues quickly and professionally, focusing on life safety, constructability, quality, and owner value; evaluate options, document decisions, and verify correct field implementation.
• Develop trusted working relationships with owners, contractors, and consultants while protecting BHDP’s professional responsibilities and contract boundaries.
• Communicate clearly, follow through reliably, and earn credibility by being fair, prepared, and solutions‑oriented, especially under high‑pressure or contentious situations.
• Manage CA scope and effort intentionally—track commitments, planned hours, workload, and response times—to support projects effectively without uncontrolled effort or missed obligations.
• Proactively monitor project risks, help the team navigate cost/schedule impacts, and keep documentation disciplined to reduce disputes and surprises.
