This role owns the Owner’s interface process across all parties and is responsible for ensuring boundaries between scopes are identified, agreed, documented, and closed before they become field problems.This is an owner-side role. The Interface Manager will own the Master Interface Register and Interface Management Plan, chair the weekly Interface Coordination Meeting, and maintain closure discipline. The role is responsible for ensuring decisions are taken on time, based on evidence, and documented to keep the project moving forward.What You Will DoOwn the Interface Management Plan by developing it, keeping it current at stage gates and upon change, preparing material revisions for approval, and maintaining the Scope Split Matrix.Set up the interface framework, including Interface Networks and Groups, kick-off meetings with each interface party, and the Interface Control Document baseline at the end of Basic Design.Own, maintain, and publish the Master Interface Register as the single source of truth for every technical, physical, contractual, and third-party interface, and reconcile contractor feeder registers to it weekly.Chair the weekly Interface Coordination Meeting and convene Interface Control Working Groups for interfaces that are complex, multi-party, critical, or past their working-level service level. Issue minutes and action logs that allow agreements to survive a change of personnel.Drive Interface Agreements to a documented, dated, version-controlled outcome, and close interface items only on evidence of agreement, exchange, and verification.Work with the Owner Interface Lead so that owner endorsements, provisional closures on preliminary data, and escalation records are complete, and that every provisional closure carries written risk acceptance and a tracked path to final data.Work with the Project Scheduler so every technical interface is an interface milestone in the Integrated Master Schedule, with a named predecessor and successor and no open-ended milestones.Resolve issues at working level wherever possible and escalate on time through the appropriate escalation ladder, flagging every escalated interface in the Register.Route interface-driven changes, risks, and non-conformances into change control, the project risk process, and the construction quality process, and keep the Register and schedule aligned with the outcome.Coordinate with the Construction Manager, Construction Quality Manager, Commissioning and Qualification (C&Q) Lead, discipline specialists, and Third-Party Interface Owners so physical, quality, turnover, and regulatory interfaces are covered.Report interface performance, including open, overdue, and interfaces due in the next 30, 60, and 90 days, weekly at the Interface Coordination Meeting and monthly to the Project Core Team, with forward-looking risks and third-party status.Monitor contractor compliance with interface obligations flowed down through their contracts, including register participation, attendance, milestone commitment, and information exchange, and raise shortfalls early.Deliver interface training in tiers, including introductory, initial, and maintenance training, as contractors and other parties enter the project.Verify interfaces are genuinely closed out ahead of mechanical completion, transfer of care, custody and control, and turnover, and capture lessons learned and a clean Register handover for operations.Authority and BoundariesYou decide interface priority with the Project Core Team and closure of an interface item based on evidence of agreement, exchange, and verification.You do not decide cost, schedule, or scope changes, which are handled through the Change Control Board; closure on preliminary information and owner endorsements, which are handled by the Owner Interface Lead; or disputes that pass the working-level service level, which follow the escalation ladder.You do not run contractors’ internal workstream, discipline, or model-review meetings by default, or manage interfaces wholly within one contractor’s scope. You are expected to be looped in when they surface a new interface.QualificationsSuperior communication, collaboration, and coordination skills. This role succeeds by building trust across contractors, disciplines, and internal stakeholders, and by getting people who report elsewhere to converge on an answer.Around 15 years of experience on large capital projects, with substantial time in interface management, project engineering, or project controls on a multi-contractor job.Experience working for the Owner rather than the contractor.Hands-on experience with a formal interface process, including a register, interface agreements, and evidence-based closure, including chairing a recurring cross-contractor coordination meeting and running escalations to a defined service level.The judgment to refuse a closure when the evidence is not there, and the credibility to make that decision stick under commercial pressure.A working understanding of how interface milestones sit in an integrated master schedule, for example Primavera P6, and how interface changes and risks flow through change control and the project risk process.Working knowledge of EPCM and EPC contract structures and how interface obligations are flowed down to subcontractors and vendors.Disciplined recordkeeping and clear writing. Agreements need to survive a change of personnel.Degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.Interested?Apply via LinkedIn or reach out directly to CCL Global for more information.","company":"Ccl","rawCompany":"ccl","city":"Denver","state":"CO","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-10-08T07:52:32.756Z","occupations":[{"code":"11-9021.00","title":"Construction Managers","slug":"construction-managers"},{"code":"13-1082.00","title":"Project Management Specialists","slug":"project-management-specialists"},{"code":"11-9041.00","title":"Architectural and Engineering Managers","slug":"architectural-and-engineering-managers"}],"industries":[{"code":"237990","title":"Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction","slug":"other-heavy-and-civil-engineering-construction"},{"code":"541330","title":"Engineering Services","slug":"engineering-services"},{"code":"237310","title":"Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction","slug":"highway-street-and-bridge-construction"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Interface Manager","description":"Interface Manager – Major Capital ProjectLocation: Richmond, VirginiaContract: Long-Term Contract, potential for 5 yearsWork Arrangement: Remote work before moving to Richmond, Virginia in mid-2027Per Diem: Payable in accordance with GSA ratesCCL Global is recruiting an experienced Interface Manager to join the Owner’s team on a major greenfield pharmaceutical capital project in Richmond.The project is delivered through two prime contractors, an EPCM contractor and an EPC contractor, along with subcontractors, vendors, and third parties.
