Assistant Director of Construction
South Florida | Onsite | Multi-Site Portfolio
A leading South Florida enterprise is seeking a dynamic Assistant Director of Construction to help lead one of the region’s most ambitious multi-year capital programs.
This is a rare opportunity to play a key leadership role in overseeing a multi-billion-dollar capital investment initiative across multiple locations. The Assistant Director will act as the Director’s right hand, driving execution excellence across a diverse portfolio of vertical and infrastructure projects.
The Opportunity

This role will:
- Partner directly with the Director to lead day-to-day construction management operations
- Oversee multiple complex projects simultaneously
- Standardize reporting, controls, and governance across the portfolio
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards
- Serve as the owner’s representative, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external partners
- Step into Director-level responsibilities when needed
This is a high-visibility leadership role ideal for someone ready to operate at an executive level.
