for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". Do not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
We have content: Mission (description), Core Focus, Scope, Key Responsibilities And Essential Job Functions (list of duties), Required Qualifications (Education and Experience, Technical Skills), Base Pay Range (Pay), Variable Pay Discretionary annual bonus (maybe part of Pay), Work Location (maybe Schedule? Actually schedule not given; work location flexibility, hybrid remote, in-office days Tues/Wed). That's more about work location, not schedule. There's no explicit schedule like hours. So we may not create Schedule section unless there is schedule info. There's no schedule. So we omit Schedule.
Benefits: there is a Benefits section listing medical, telehealth, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA, life and AD&D, short/long term disability, Flex PTO, Leave of Absence, Employee Assistance Program, Wellness Program, Rewards and Recognition Program. Also note "Benefits are subject to change...". So we have Benefits content.
Pay: Base Pay Range $135,000 - $150,000, variable pay discretionary annual bonus. So we have Pay.
Qualifications: Education and Experience, Technical Skills. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have About the role: Mission, Core Focus, Scope maybe. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as prose.
Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities And Essential Job Functions (list). We'll output as
- .
Requirements: maybe combine Education and Experience? Could be "Requirements". But we also have "Qualifications" and "Skills". The instruction says we can use those headings if content exists. We have Education and Experience (Required Qualifications). That's qualifications. Also Technical Skills. So we could have Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (technical skills). Or we could combine them under Requirements. But better to follow the headings list: we can have Qualifications and Skills separate.
Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Qualifications (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3), Pay (h3). No Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role: Mission, Core Focus, Scope.
Mission: "Serve as the VP of Construction's direct tactical eyes and ears on the ground, governing daily project financial defense, variance tracking, change validation, schedule integration, and project controls reporting processes."
Core Focus: "Ensure active field execution matches contractual billing, provide immediate visibility into cost variances, defend the portfolio contingency against erosion, establish reporting frameworks used across projects, and audit multi-project bookkeeping"
Scope: "Strategic tracking of multiple concurrent live builds, utility campus infrastructure projects, and active operational retrofit/repair construction projects while maintaining ownership of project controls processes, reporting standards, and portfolio-level financial visibility."
We can combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Use
for prose.
Responsibilities: list items from "Key Responsibilities And Essential Job Functions". Let's extract bullet points:
- Establish and maintain project controls reporting frameworks, financial tracking standards, and performance metrics to ensure consistent portfolio-level visibility and decision support.
- Maintain active site sub-ledgers and execute daily cost-code accounting using MasterFormat/Uniformat standards, ensuring all field commitments are logged accurately.
- Review, verify, and process monthly progress billings and pay applications from the General Contractor, cross-referencing all billings against physical on-site work-in-place verification.
- Collect, audit, and log conditional and unconditional lien waivers from all sub-tier trades to eliminate financial, legal, and title risks.
- Monitor delivery timelines, tax exemptions, and milestone payments for critical Owner-Furnished Equipment (OFE) once items transition to the field.
- Isolate, track, and bookkeep distinct budgets for large operational repair or retrofit builds to prevent cost blending with standard facility maintenance budgets.
- Command the change order defense process; review incoming Subcontractor Change Orders (PCOs/COs) for strict contractual entitlement.
- Verify contractor material quantities and labor rates against original contract baselines and regional labor indexes.
- Execute rapid, first-principles quantity takeoffs for field variations to negotiate fair value with contractors before work begins.
- Monitor early warning indicators on labor productivity, material waste, and design gaps to flag cost overruns before they impact the ledger.
- Integrates project budgets with active master schedules using critical path methodology to calculate schedule and cost performance indexes (SPI/CPI) via Earned Value Management (EVM).
- Build and update monthly site-level and portfolio-level Work-in-Progress (WIP) forecasts and cash drawdown curves for direct review by the VP of Construction.
- Develop, maintain, and continuously improve project controls reporting standards, dashboards, and portfolio performance metrics utilized by leadership and project stakeholders.
- Provide unfiltered weekly financial health updates, early-warning risk logs, and contingency drawdown status reports to leadership.
- Lead coordination across project teams, contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders to drive alignment on project controls, forecasting, cost management, and schedule performance.
- Advise the VP of Construction on portfolio-wide contingency liquidity and cash velocity to optimize capital deployment.
- Support long-range portfolio planning activities through multi-project forecasting, capital deployment analysis, and projected financial performance reporting.
- Document Coordination & Audit Support: Audit and process final contract closures, retention reconciliations, and sub-tier ledger settlements upon project commissioning.
- Enforce strict compliance with corporate budget boundaries, contractual frameworks, and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) structures.
- Identify opportunities to improve project controls processes, reporting methodologies, financial controls, and compliance practices across the portfolio.
- Support corporate financial and compliance audits by providing clean, unassailable financial records of site expenditures, signed waivers, and progress history.
We need to ensure we keep all.
Qualifications: Education and Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Finance, Civil/Mechanical Engineering, or Accounting.
- 5–8 years of experience in project controls, cost engineering, or construction accounting on heavy industrial or utility-scale commercial projects.
- At least 2–3 years working directly on mission-critical or data center construction projects with a clear understanding of heavy MEP cost profiles.
Skills:
- Advanced proficiency utilizing enterprise construction PMIS tools, relational spreadsheet applications, and critical-path scheduling software.
- Strong understanding of open-book cost reviews, shared savings clauses, and multi-tier contract mechanics.
- Comfortable splitting time between the office and the active construction field to verify work-in-place alongside superintendents.
Benefits: list:
- Medical, Telehealth, Dental and Vision
- 401(k)
- Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
- Life and AD&D
- Short Term and Long-Term disability
- Flex Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Leave of Absence
- Employee Assistance Program
- Wellness Program
- Rewards and Recognition Program
Also note "Benefits are subject to change at the Company's discretion." We can include as a sentence after list.
Pay: Base Pay Range: $135,000 - $150,000. Variable Pay Discretionary annual bonus, based on personal and company performance.
We should not include filler like "depends on each candidate’s experience, location, and qualifications." That's substantive? It's describing that actual pay range depends on factors. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's actual detail. We can include.
Work Location: Not a schedule, but maybe we could include under "About the role" or separate? There's no heading for Work Location in the list. Could be part of About the role. But we might omit as not requested. However we should preserve all substantive information. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include work location info somewhere. Since there's no specific heading for Work Location, we could incorporate it into About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Better to add a paragraph under About the role after mission/core focus/scope. Or we could create a section "Work Location" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could add other headings if needed but better to stick to those. We can incorporate work location into About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph will include mission, core focus, scope, and work location details.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
