Position Summary:

The Senior Project Manager – Construction Delivery leads assigned capital projects for Shell Mobility and Convenience (SMC) gasoline stations and convenience retail stores in an owner-led, general-contractor-delivered model. This role is accountable for owner-side project leadership, project controls, contract administration, general contractor performance, stakeholder alignment, risk management, and successful turnover from pre-construction through closeout. Consistent with industry best practice, the role manages outcomes, governance, communication, documentation, risk, cost, schedule, safety, and quality requirements while leaving construction means and methods, subcontractor supervision, manpower planning, trade coordination, and day-to-day jobsite execution with the general contractor. The Senior Project Manager coordinates owner-side resources and relies on Owner’s Representatives and Senior Owner’s Representatives for field visibility, QA/QC observations, schedule validation, punch tracking, and contractor performance feedback. The ideal candidate brings strong commercial construction leadership, retail fuel experience, disciplined project controls, contract administration capability, and the ability to manage multiple complex builds across diverse geographies while protecting the owner’s cost, schedule, safety, quality, compliance, and operational interests.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Owner-Side Project Leadership: Lead assigned construction projects from pre-construction planning through turnover and closeout, with primary focus on complex New-To-Industry (NTI), Knockdown-Rebuild (KDR), major remodel, fuel system, and multi-scope capital projects delivered through third-party general contractors.
• General Contractor Governance: Manage the GC through contract requirements, documented expectations, milestone controls, meeting cadence, performance scorecards, submittal/RFI discipline, schedule updates, pay application validation, change order governance, safety expectations, and closeout deliverables. Hold contractors accountable to scope, cost, schedule, quality, and compliance requirements without assuming responsibility for contractor means and methods.
• Project Controls: Own project budgets, schedules, forecasts, commitments, change orders, contingency use, cash flow visibility, cost-to-complete reporting, and milestone performance. Maintain disciplined controls routines that identify variance early, support timely escalation, and preserve an auditable record of decisions, assumptions, approvals, and recovery plans.
• Field Oversight Interface: Direct and integrate input from Owner’s Representatives and Senior Owner’s Representatives who provide field-level observation, QA/QC validation, schedule visibility, punch tracking, site readiness assessment, and contractor performance feedback.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Coordinate across Real Estate, Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Finance, Marketing, IT, vendors, permitting authorities, and regulatory stakeholders to ensure projects are properly scoped, funded, permitted, executed, commissioned, and turned over to operations.
• Supply Chain and Owner-Provided Materials: Manage owner-provided and owner-furnished/contractor-installed material interfaces by aligning procurement release dates, delivery windows, site readiness, storage requirements, contractor installation sequencing, and risk escalation for shortages, substitutions, or late deliveries.
• Works closely with Contracts and Procurement to develop high quality contract management plans for execution of services on site as well as owner supplied equipment strategies.
• Works in collaboration with the Engineering Manager on site plans and the development strategy. Contributes feedback and assurance into the Front-End Engineering process for continuous improvement in the delivery process through improved design standards and execution from previous builds.
• Compliance, Safety, and Quality Assurance: Ensure projects comply with applicable safety, environmental, permitting, regulatory, brand, engineering, and operational requirements. Require task-specific safety planning, job hazard analysis, permit-to-work coordination, inspection readiness, quality checklists, commissioning evidence, testing documentation, deficiency tracking, and closeout packages before operational handover.
