Brief Description Grunley Construction has been selected as one of ten contractors on the U.S. Navy's Hawaii MACC, a $8 billion program spanning approximately eight years. Task orders will be completed among the awardee pool as they are released by NAVFAC Hawaii.
Grunley will pursue this program in joint venture with Goodfellow Brothers, a well-established Hawaii-based heavy civil and earthwork self-perform contractor. This partnership gives Grunley a local self-perform capability and an established regional presence, but the program will require a dedicated leader who can operate the JV, build the local team, and win work at scale.
The Program Director will serve as Grunley's on-the-ground leader for the Hawaii Navy MACC, acting as the day- to-day executive for the Grunley/Goodfellow Brothers joint venture. This person will own the full lifecycle of the program: identifying and qualifying task order opportunities, building relationships with NAVFAC Hawaii and the local trade and ownership community, directing preconstruction and proposal efforts, negotiating final contract terms, and standing up the project delivery teams that execute the work. This is a builder role — the successful candidate will effectively be building and running a regional operating company under Grunley's ownership.
