What you will do as a Project Director, Mission Critical:

Delivery leadership

• Own cost, schedule, quality, safety and client satisfaction on all mission-critical projects.
• Lead pre-construction scoping on new opportunities: delivery approach, risk, budget and schedule, in close coordination with business development.
• Deliver against each client’s milestone framework, from pre-construction start through early access, commissioning handoff and close-out, with disciplined schedule and risk governance.
  
• Direct project teams through construction and MEP integration and lead the path through all phases of commissioning to turnover, so that systems are energized safely, proven and handed to the client’s operations team ready to run.
• Run delivery governance: project reviews, forecasting, change management, risk and escalation.

Live environment delivery

• Lead construction in and next to live, operating facilities, where one error can interrupt client operations.
• Own the planning of phased work and system transitions so that construction proceeds without reducing the availability or resilience of the client’s operating systems.

Safety, security, quality and compliance

• Contribute to business development initiatives through site assessments, technical evaluations, and constructability expertise to support project opportunities.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with design consultants, specialized trade partners, equipment vendors, utility providers, and commissioning agents to drive alignment, collaboration, and successful project delivery.

Team and capability building

• Establish and continuously improve standardized mission-critical project delivery practices, including execution frameworks, procurement strategies, and commissioning protocols.
• Drive consistency, knowledge sharing, and operational alignment across Broccolini markets to establish a unified mission-critical construction practice.

• Proven safety leadership in managing high-risk construction activities while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and stringent client safety standards.
• Strong commitment to quality management, documentation control, and compliance with client-specific digital platforms, data standards, and project delivery requirements.
