Not the optimistic forecast.

Not the watered-down update.

The truth.

You'll lead the systems, reporting, forecasting, scheduling, risk management, and project controls processes that help Titan protect margin, improve execution, and scale intelligently across multiple offices.

You'll connect operations, project management, field leadership, finance, estimating, and technology teams into one version of reality.

Within your first 12–24 months, you'll help Titan:

Project managers consistently produce reliable Cost-To-Complete and Cost-At-Completion forecasts.

Project schedules become trustworthy management tools instead of documents updated only when someone asks for them.

Executives can quickly understand project health across the entire portfolio.

Project teams actually use the tools we've invested in.

Risks are identified early enough to do something about them.

What works in one office works across the company.

You'll help project teams understand where projects truly stand financially.

Responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing project budgets, cost coding, and forecasting practices
  • Driving accurate Cost-To-Complete (CTC) and Cost-At-Completion (CAC) forecasting
  • Analyzing labor productivity, equipment costs, purchasing performance, and subcontractor spend
  • Identifying margin risk before it becomes margin loss
  • Challenging assumptions and improving forecast accuracy
  • Helping leaders make informed financial decisions

You'll establish scheduling discipline across the organization.

You'll:

  • Support development of baseline, recovery, and as-built schedules
  • Establish company scheduling standards
  • Evaluate critical path risk and schedule impacts
  • Assist teams with delay analysis and claims support
  • Improve consistency in schedule reporting
  • Ensure progress updates reflect actual field conditions

Technology only works when people actually use it.

You'll become the business owner and champion for project management platforms and workflows.

That includes:

  • Driving adoption of project management tools
  • Partnering with Operations and IT on system improvements
  • Creating training programs and implementation plans
  • Measuring adoption across locations
  • Reducing rework caused by inconsistent workflows
  • Helping field and project teams get maximum value from technology investments

You'll help identify problems before they become emergencies.

You'll work with:

  • Operations
  • Project Managers
  • Superintendents
  • Estimators
  • Finance Leaders
  • Executive Leadership

To identify:

  • Schedule risk
  • Labor risk
  • Procurement risk
  • Staffing risk
  • Financial risk
  • Execution risk

You'll help leadership understand what could go wrong—and what needs to happen next.


You'll transform project data into decision-making tools.

Responsibilities include:

  • Building executive dashboards
  • Tracking portfolio performance
  • Producing KPI and trend analysis
  • Monitoring cash flow and margin exposure
  • Supporting preconstruction and bid strategy efforts
  • Developing reporting structures leadership actually uses

Today you'll lead.

Tomorrow you'll help build.

You'll play a key role in shaping the future Project Controls organization.

That means:

  • Hiring and developing future team members
  • Coaching project teams
  • Establishing standards
  • Creating accountability
  • Driving continuous improvement

We're less interested in buzzwords and more interested in experience.
