Project Executive

About the role

As Project Executive, you will be the driving force of a leadership team dedicated to providing world class service to our clients by leading, directing, and coordinating the day to day management of the project. You will be a champion of the project goals and objectives to the entire project team. The Project Executive will create a project plan that outlines the tasks, timelines, and resources required to achieve the project’s goals. The Project Executive with the help of the Senior Project Manager, Project Manager and Project Engineers will communicate with the broader project team and stakeholders, manage risk and monitor progress against the schedule. Successful candidates will demonstrate their passion for and dedication to getting the job done.

The role is physically active and hands‑on: you will be on your feet frequently navigating active job sites with uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists; the work is physically demanding and requires a full range of motion, including bending, kneeling, and reaching. You’ll need to be comfortable frequently lifting and carrying materials up to 25 pounds, and occasionally up to 50 pounds. Effective communication and visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work are required. Desk time in the office may involve prolonged sitting for computer work, document review, and meetings.

You’ll spend a significant amount of time on active construction sites, adapting to various weather and moderate to loud noise levels, and working in elevated or confined areas with moving mechanical equipment. You will also spend time in a typical office setting with moderate noise levels. Safety is a top priority; you must follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures and all applicable laws at all locations.

The culture is high‑performing and demanding: we look for candidates energized by challenge, thriving under pressure, and prepared to do what it takes to achieve exceptional results. Success requires significant commitment, including flexibility to work extended hours during critical phases or client deadlines, and being responsive to communications (phone, email, text) for time‑sensitive matters or emergencies. A drug‑free workplace is maintained; a pre‑employment “fitness for duty” screening is required, and random quarterly tests are conducted.
