This role provides executive‑level oversight of construction operations, schedule performance, manpower planning, quality control, and field staffing. The position represents Miller Electric Company with full authority in project‑related meetings and serves as a major decisionmaker for construction execution strategies. 

This position requires periodical travel to project sites across the United States. All other responsibilities will be performed remotely from a home office through virtual collaboration platforms.

• Ensure all data center projects are operating in alignment with Miller Electric Company processes, construction standards, Lean practices, and execution expectations—without removing ownership or accountability from the project teams.

• Teach, train, and support project teams in Pull Planning, Lean execution, and reliable planning practices, strengthening field leadership capability and planning discipline across the organization. 

• Collaborate with project leadership to help define realistic yet aggressive schedule and productivity targets, ensuring project teams collectively own their plans and execution strategies. 

• Provide expert review, insight, and guidance on Primavera P6 schedules to improve logic, sequencing, and constructability, while reinforcing schedule ownership at the project level. 

• Participate in site walks during travel periods to validate progress, quality, safety performance, workforce effectiveness, and adherence to the project plan—providing actionable feedback and coaching rather than direct command. 

• Act as a mentor and coach to project superintendents, foremen, and field leadership, helping develop future leaders while reinforcing Miller Electric’s execution culture. 

• Represent Miller Electric in high‑level client and partner meetings as a trusted construction expert, providing technical insight and reinforcing confidence in the project team’s approach and capabilities. 

• Foster strong working relationships with general contractors, owners, engineering partners, and trade partners to support collaboration, issue resolution, and long‑term project success. 

• Shape, refine, and socialize best practices, lessons learned, and standard work for data center construction, helping elevate consistency and performance across projects. 

• Assist project teams in identifying risks and constraints early, offering guidance and support to address issues proactively while maintaining project ownership within the team.
