Senior Rehabilitation Construction Specialist

Most weeks tend to mix project oversight, design coordination, contractor management, and senior client engagement — walking complex rehab sites, sitting with architects and engineers on existing-condition surprises, coordinating with contractors on phasing for occupied buildings, fielding owner questions on scope and budget. You're often the senior construction voice when rehab projects surface unexpected conditions. Schedule, budget, and quality at milestone are the operating measures.

The harder part is often the discovery cycle that defines rehab work — every existing wall, ceiling, or foundation can reveal something the documents didn't anticipate, and the senior specialist navigates the resulting scope and budget conversations. Variance across employers is wide: at large GCs the role runs with project-controls infrastructure; at smaller rehab specialists you wear more hats.

The role fits people who are comfortable with construction-discovery surprises, deep in building-systems fluency, and steady through owner-contractor tension. PMP, OSHA 30, and historic-preservation credentials anchor seniority. The trade-off is the field-condition demands and the political work of explaining discovery findings to owners under budget pressure.
