How will you make your impact?

As the Head of Construction, you will build and lead a construction organization capable of delivering increasingly complex energy infrastructure projects safely and consistently across multiple geographies. You will shape construction strategy from the earliest stages of project development, ensuring constructability, labor planning, logistics, sequencing, and execution considerations are embedded into bids and project plans. You will establish the standards, systems, and leadership capability required to improve field performance, increase predictability, and support sustainable growth across the region.

As Linxon continues to scale its EPC operations across the region, the Head of Construction will play a critical role in creating a repeatable field operating model, improving construction readiness, and ensuring construction expertise influences project decisions long before work reaches the site. This is a highly visible leadership position with direct influence on project execution, workforce capability, construction strategy, and operational performance across the Americas.

What will you do?

• You will lead construction strategy and execution across the Americas, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and predictably.
• You will provide construction leadership during preconstruction, influencing estimates, schedules, execution plans, constructability reviews, and bid strategies.
• You will validate labor, equipment, logistics, subcontracting, permitting, and site planning assumptions before mobilization.
• You will define and enforce site-readiness criteria and mobilization gates to ensure projects start successfully.
• You will establish and drive consistent field-management routines that improve safety, productivity, schedule performance, and cost control.
• You will proactively identify and address risks before they impact project outcomes.
• You will lead regional construction resource planning, workforce deployment, and subcontractor strategy across the Americas.
• You will build leadership capability, succession plans, and development pathways for construction managers, site leaders, and supervisors.
• You will oversee project closeout, commissioning support, warranty handover, and lessons-learned programs to improve future project performance.
• You will partner with Engineering, Procurement, Quality, HSE, and Project Management teams to drive continuous improvement across the project lifecycle.
• You will establish clear construction readiness standards and mobilization gates across the region.
• You will improve visibility into workforce capacity, subcontractor performance, and project resource requirements.
• You will strengthen constructability reviews and ensure construction considerations are integrated earlier in project planning and design.
• You will reduce avoidable mobilization challenges by improving planning, coordination, and readiness across projects.
• You will improve field productivity, schedule reliability, and consistency of execution across the portfolio.
• You will strengthen project closeout, commissioning, and lessons-learned processes to improve future project performance.
• You will build a scalable construction organization with the leadership capability, operating discipline, and resource planning needed to support Linxon's continued growth across the Americas.
  

Who you are?

• You are an accomplished construction leader with 15+ years of experience delivering power, substation, BESS, renewable energy, industrial, or other complex EPC projects.
• You are experienced in leading multi-site or regional construction portfolios, balancing resources, priorities, and performance across multiple projects simultaneously.
• You are highly knowledgeable in constructability, field planning, subcontractor management, cost control, scheduling, quality, and HSE requirements.
• You are proven in building high-performing field teams, developing construction leaders, and implementing scalable operating systems.
• You are willing and able to travel extensively throughout the Americas and spend meaningful time on project sites to support successful execution.
• You are a leader who puts the mission, the customer, and the team ahead of individual recognition.
• You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and adjusting course as new facts emerge.
• You are committed to raising standards while fostering respect, inclusion, and psychological safety.
• You are passionate about developing people, transferring knowledge, and building organizational capability.
• You are trusted because of your actions, performance, and follow-through rather than your title.
