What are Dacons?

A Dacon, more commonly spelled as 'Deacon,' is a member of the Christian clergy who assists with church services, provides pastoral care, and helps with administrative duties within a congregation. Deacons play a crucial role in supporting both the spiritual and practical needs of their church community. Their responsibilities can include assisting with sacraments, visiting the sick, and various outreach activities. The specific duties and qualifications of a Deacon can vary depending on the denomination and local church traditions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Dacon, and why are they important?

I'm sorry, but 'Dacon' does not appear to be a recognized real-world professional occupation. Please provide a valid job title for an accurate response.

What are some common challenges faced by Dacon professionals in project execution, and how can they be addressed?

Dacon professionals often encounter challenges such as coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing complex technical specifications, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards during project execution. Effective communication, proactive risk management, and continuous training on the latest industry practices are key strategies to overcome these obstacles. Additionally, leveraging project management tools and fostering a collaborative work environment can help streamline workflows and address issues promptly, contributing to successful project delivery.

Primary Function:
The Project Manager is responsible for the full lifecycle management of electrical construction projects within DACON's substation and power systems portfolio, including active participation in project estimating and bid development. The Project Manager leads cross-functional project teams, manages client relationships, and ensures projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget, while contributing to competitive and accurate estimates for new high-voltage and power construction opportunities.
Duties & Responsibilities
Employee may be called upon to perform any or all of the following functions:
  • Manage all phases of electrical construction projects - including planning, procurement, execution, and closeout - for substation and medium- to high-voltage power system projects.
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive project schedules, budgets, and cost forecasts; proactively identify and resolve schedule and cost deviations.
  • Serve as the primary client contact for day-to-day project communications; build and maintain strong client relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Lead project kickoff meetings and recurring project review meetings with internal teams, subcontractors, and client stakeholders.
  • Manage subcontracts, vendor agreements, and material procurement in coordination with the procurement team.
  • Direct and mentor Assistant Project Managers and project support staff assigned to projects.
  • Administer the project change management process including identification, pricing, negotiation, and documentation of change orders.
  • Review and approve project invoices, cost coding, and monthly cost reports; forecast project financial performance through completion.
  • Coordinate with field supervision and engineering to resolve technical issues and maintain project quality standards.
  • Ensure full compliance with project safety plans, Dacon's safety standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Prepare and present project status reports, schedule updates, and financial summaries for senior management and clients.
  • Prepare and manage complete project estimates for assigned bid opportunities, including labor, material, subcontractor, and equipment costs for substation and medium- to high-voltage electrical construction projects.
  • Lead pre-bid site walks and bid strategy discussions; coordinate subcontractor and vendor solicitations to support competitive and accurate estimates.
  • Review and validate estimate assumptions, exclusions, and clarifications; participate in the bid review and approval process prior to proposal submission.
  • Support the handoff from estimate to execution by clearly communicating cost assumptions, scope inclusions/exclusions, and risk items to the project delivery team.
  • Perform special projects and complete other duties as assigned or requested.

How You Will Make an Impact
  • Drive safe, on-time, and on-budget delivery of electrical construction projects, directly contributing to Dacon's revenue and profitability.
  • Strengthen client relationships through proactive communication, issue resolution, and consistent delivery of project commitments.
  • Develop and mentor junior project management staff, building organizational capacity and supporting career growth within the team.
  • Protect project financial health by maintaining rigorous cost controls and actively managing the change order process.
  • Contribute to business growth by developing accurate, competitive estimates that support successful bids on high-voltage and power construction projects.
  • Advance Dacon's safety culture by championing compliance with safety plans and modeling leadership behaviors in the field.

Minimum Qualifications / Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field; relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree on a year-for-year basis (4 years = Bachelor's equivalent).
  • Minimum 5 years of project management experience in electrical construction, substation construction, or power systems.
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects from $2M to $20M+ in substation, transmission, or medium- to high-voltage electrical infrastructure.
  • Experience with project estimating for high-voltage or power construction projects preferred.
  • Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred.
  • Proficiency in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project for schedule development and management.
  • Experience with Procore or similar construction management software preferred.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; strong financial acumen with experience managing project cost reports and forecasts.
  • Excellent client-facing communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
  • Valid driver's license required; regular travel to project sites required.

Physical Requirements
  • Ability to sit for extended periods during office-based work.
  • Ability to stand and walk for extended periods during field visits.
  • Ability to walk on uneven terrain, gravel, and graded surfaces.
  • Ability to navigate active construction environments including stairs, ramps, and temporary walkways.
  • Ability to lift up to 25 pounds occasionally.
  • Ability to wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including hard hat, safety glasses, steel-toe boots, FR clothing, and hearing protection.
  • Ability to travel to project sites as required.
