Role Overview

Role Overview The Director of Building is a key member of CO Adaptive’s management team, working at the same leadership level as other Directors and reporting directly to the Principals. This role carries high-level accountability for construction operations across both the Architecture and Build entities, ensuring quality, efficiency, profitability, and alignment with CO Adaptive’s mission and values.

While the Project Manager serves as the primary client contact during construction, the Director of Building ensures client satisfaction remains central to all decisions. They attend client meetings, support PMs on critical communication, and take accountability for difficult conversations such as budget or schedule impacts. Acting as both mentor and leader, they help refine client-facing communication while setting the tone for construction excellence across teams.

This is a pivotal role for an experienced construction leader who thrives in a design-build environment, understands the complexity of managing diverse projects concurrently, and can integrate construction strategy into the earliest stages of design.
