What You'll Do
Facility Launch Leadership: Own the end-to-end launch of new manufacturing facilities, from early planning through turnover. Set the strategy, intake requirements, sequence the work, and keep the project moving toward production readiness.
Field Execution & Contractor Oversight: Serve as the day-to-day Owner's Representative on active construction sites. Translate Hadrian requirements to executable facility designs. Hold General Contractors and subcontractors accountable to schedule, quality, and sequencing. Identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
Schedule & Problem Solving: Own construction scheduling - managing the critical path and any blockers. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones. The way Hadrian launches factories is phased – we introduce the 1st phase of production while construction is still active in other areas. So a dynamic, production-first schedule needs constant attention and realignment.
Requirements Partnership: Intake facility requirements from engineering, often driven by production equipment selection and operational flow. Drive engineering requirements or provide clear signal when they are blocking progress or pushing schedule. Push back on requirements that are driving unnecessary cost, complexity, or time to the construction project.
Change Management & Documentation: Manage RFIs, submittals, pay applications, and change orders. Proficient in Procore for change order and drawing management, and familiar with Bluebeam for markups and document control. We have a separate team that will maintain a digital twin / CAD layout of the factory – work closely with them to make sure we are always building to the latest & greatest facility design revision.
Design Feedback: Participate in design reviews for current and future phases. Translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback before they become costly problems.
Commissioning & Turnover: Sequence inspections, testing, and commissioning to avoid downstream delays. Support documentation and turnover packages for regulated manufacturing environments.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or relevant STEM field, or 8+ years of hands-on field experience in lieu of degree.
3+ years in construction management, capital project execution, manufacturing facilities development, or equivalent project management experience.
Experience launching or standing up new manufacturing or production facilities, ideally in environments with engineering and production complexity similar to Hadrian.
Direct field ownership of projects with GC or subcontractor oversight.
Proficiency in Procore or equivalent.
Willingness to travel up to 50%.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience in high-quality-regulated or high-consequence industries (nuclear, energy, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing).
Background bridging construction execution and manufacturing operations, especially launching production facilities from the ground up.
Familiarity with Lean construction or pull planning methodologies.
Exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts.
Experience working on expedited timelines or fast paced industries.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $106,000 - $181,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
