New Construction Manager
Mural Group · Cleveland · $110,000–$135,000 (stated in the posting)
New Construction Manager
$110 - 135K / year
About the role
Location: Cleveland, OH (on-site at the shipyard, shore-based)
Mural Group is leading a search for a long-established Cleveland marine company that has built most of its tug fleet in its own shipyard. They are in the process of reopening the shipyard's new-construction division.
Our client is hiring a New Construction Manager to lead that program from planning through delivery. This is a build-the-process role: you'll stand the division back up, then run it. Unlike most construction leadership jobs, it's one stable Cleveland site, not a travel schedule.
What you'll own
Program delivery: Lead vessel construction projects from planning through delivery, starting with two new tugs.
Rebuilding the process: Re-establish the new-construction operating process — work packages, sequencing, procurement, and closeout.
Schedule: Build and run the master schedule; plan labor, equipment, and materials against it.
Budget: Own the program budget, job-cost tracking, and change management.
Safety: Lead shipyard safety, including hot work and confined space, with authority to stop unsafe or nonconforming work.
Quality: Coordinate inspections, QC documentation, and nonconformance resolution.
People: Lead and develop foremen and multi-trade crews — fitters, welders, pipefitters, electricians, and outfitting.
Vendors and subcontractors: Select, manage, and hold accountable the outside suppliers and subs the program depends on.
Reporting: Keep shipyard and company leadership current on schedule, cost, and risk.
What you bring
10+ years in shipbuilding or ship repair, with a strong shipyard and steel construction background
5+ years supervising multi-trade crews and foremen
Direct ownership of schedule, budget, and safety on a vessel or industrial build
Working knowledge of structural steel and marine fabrication, and coordination of welding, piping, mechanical, electrical, coatings, and outfitting
Reads and works from drawings, specs, and fabrication packages
Preferred Qualifications
Has stood up or relaunched a new-construction program
Drydock, waterfront, or tug/workboat experience
Bachelor's in Construction Management, Construction Engineering Technology, or engineering — or equivalent field leadership
OSHA 30; CWI or PMP a plus
Procore or equivalent; P6 or MS Project
Navy, Coast Guard, or naval-industrial background
Experience leading union workforces
Classification-society or government-contract quality requirements
Compensation and benefits
Base: $110K–$135K, depending on experience; flexible for exceptional candidates
Health benefits from day one
Company-paid life and disability insurance after 90 days
401(k) with 3% match after 6 months
Stable, shore-based role at a single Cleveland site
