Job description

Evergreen Note This is an evergreen posting designed to connect with experienced construction management professionals interested in future ENGIE opportunities in Iowa City, IA. By applying, you may be considered for current or upcoming Construction Management roles that align with your background, skills, and experience level. For those seeking immediate openings, we invite you to visit our ENGIE career page to explore current opportunities. Why This Role May Interest You Construction Management Talent Pipeline (All Levels) University of Iowa (Iowa City, IA | Home Nightly) ENGIE is building a local pipeline for Construction Management talent (all levels) to support utility and energy infrastructure capital projects across the University of Iowa under a long-term 50-year concession agreement. This is an opportunity to help deliver critical campus infrastructure that supports one of the nation's leading public universities. Projects range from $100K–$20M and include steam and condensate distribution, central utility plant tie-ins, chilled water and thermal distribution systems, electrical distribution support, and stormwater, wastewater, and civil utility infrastructure. One of the most significant projects on the horizon is an approximately 800-linear-foot steam tunnel replacement through the heart of campus. This highly visible, campus-impacting initiative will require exceptional construction leadership, stakeholder engagement, outage planning, and logistical coordination within a complex, active university environment. This is owner-side field leadership—managing contractors, safety, sequencing, outages, stakeholder coordination, and turnover—not estimating-only or office-only work. Why This Opportunity Stands Out • Lead projects ranging from $100K to $20M in active campus utility environments • Play a key role in delivering a marquee steam tunnel replacement at the center of campus • Own field execution, contractor performance, safety, logistics, and project delivery • Work across diverse utility systems including thermal, electrical, water, wastewater, and civil infrastructure • Enjoy the stability of a long-term infrastructure partnership while working locally and being home nightly in Iowa City • Build a long-term career supporting critical utility infrastructure under ENGIE's 50-year partnership with the University of Iowa What You’ll Bring • Education or experience in Construction Management, Engineering, technical discipline, skilled trades, military training, or equivalent construction leadership roles • Construction management experience in industrial, utility, municipal, energy, campus, healthcare, military, infrastructure, or complex commercial environments • Equivalent military leadership experience in facilities, utilities, civil engineering, construction, public works, base operations, maintenance, logistics, safety, or mission-critical infrastructure will be considered • Strong field leadership with demonstrated safety ownership, contractor oversight, and issue resolution • Experience with constructability reviews, change management, contract administration, schedule input, documentation, and project controls • Practical understanding of thermal, utility, MEP, civil, electrical, mechanical, or infrastructure construction • Ability to manage competing priorities across active projects, stakeholders, contractors, and site constraints Salary Range will be included in the formal job posting once a specific level of opportunity is determined and posted.
