Your Impact The Construction Manager, Retail Facilities leads the field execution of a portfolio of asset renewal and building improvement work across occupied big-box retail locations. The role translates identified facility needs into executable project plans and guides projects such as interior and exterior painting, HVAC replacements, parking lot repaving, flooring repairs, roofing, lighting, and building-envelope work from initial assessment through turnover. This individual contributor serves as the central project contact for store leaders, technical partners, and third-party service providers. The role applies construction expertise, sound judgment, and disciplined project controls to protect building assets, maintain Lowe's physical brand, and support safe, uninterrupted store operations. What You Will Do Converts facility condition data, field observations, and business priorities into clearly defined project objectives, work packages, milestone plans, and site execution requirements. Performs site assessments and validates existing conditions to identify constructability concerns, access limitations, utility impacts, operational dependencies, and project risks before work begins. Prepares detailed scopes of work and technical requirements for building systems and finishes, including HVAC, paving, flooring, painting, roofing, lighting, exterior envelope, and related asset-renewal work.

Leads preconstruction coordination with Sourcing, Procurement, Real Estate Property Management, design professionals, Store Operations, contractors, and service providers after required business approvals are obtained.

Provides project-level forecasting, commitment, invoice, and variance tracking for assigned work within a broader capital and expense program. Identifies potential cost exposure, forecast changes, and funding concerns and escalates decisions that exceed the role’s established authority to budget owners and authorized approvers. Evaluates requests for information, substitutions, unforeseen field conditions, and proposed changes; documents the cost, schedule, technical, and operational impacts and routes items requiring approval to the appropriate decision-maker. Provides field oversight through site visits, progress meetings, photo documentation, and verification of completed work against the authorized scope, applicable standards, construction documents, and contract requirements. Coordinates shutdowns, phasing, temporary conditions, inspections, testing, commissioning, and turnover activities with store leadership to limit disruption to customers, associates, merchandise, and daily operations. Tracks contractor responsiveness, workmanship, schedule performance, closeout quality, and warranty obligations and communicates recurring performance concerns to vendor-management and sourcing partners. Maintains a complete and audit-ready project record, including estimates, proposals, meeting notes, decisions, site reports, schedules, financial tracking, change documentation, punch lists, warranties, and
