You will be responsible for ensuring enterprise-level turnover standards, methodologies, and best practices are followed, engaging leadership teams in the coordination and facilitation of field verification and documentation of systems installed by Construction. This will be achieved through direction of walkdown activities across active construction sites, providing guidance to construction leadership, subcontractor management, and client stakeholders through the scope of complex multi-discipline systems. Additionally, you will be accountable for working within frameworks for collaboration with field Quality and sub-contractors, ensuring organizational adherence to testing and documentation requirements, and confirming the completion of pre-commissioning activities such as megger and continuity, testing and balancing, chemical cleaning and flushing, passivation, and pressure testing across your portfolio.

You will champion the adoption and optimization of our latest applicable digital platforms for project related activities, including punchlist management systems, reviews of system testing protocols, and the standardization of construction turnover package assembly.

Engaged coordination with field construction quality leadership to resolve systemic issues identified on system walkdowns is a key component of this role, fostering an organizational culture of innovation and problem-solving excellence. In this capacity, you will be responsible for implementing, and standardizing enterprise-level turnover programs across multiple sites and regions, ensuring consistency in processes, documentation, and quality standards while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to site-specific and regional requirements. This will enable you and your teams to lead the timely transfer of care, custody, and control of systems to our clients.
