Target’s distinctive brand love is infused throughout its many physical locations by the Properties teams. We have a direct and positive impact on the real estate, design, construction and maintenance of our stores, distribution centers and headquarters. Are you ready to help strategically grow Target’s brand through leading-edge design, development, construction and preservation? Can you effectively balance the efficiencies of a large-design build company with the unique challenges and innovative solutions required by individual sites? Then take your place on one of our Properties teams and help us make the most of Target’s physical assets, both in the U.S. and overseas.

A role in Construction means being part of a team that brings ideas to life for our guests and team members across the country. As a Director of Construction, you will lead teams that oversee the execution and support of construction projects supporting our Global Supply Chain and Logistics work. Projects include large program rollouts, unique special projects, remodels and large ground-up construction across Target’s portfolio of buildings. You’ll set deployment strategies that enable projects to finish on time and on budget. While the projects will evolve based on the needs of the business; your key goals include:

• Create and adhere to project timelines through effective coordination across partners

• Create and lead routines that effectively communicate progress across external and internal teams (i.e. suppliers, contractors, store operations leadership, headquarters partners and project teams).

• Identify and lead strategies that meet quality expectations (i.e. supplier performance, construction documents and specifications), maximize efficiency (i.e. expenses, labor considerations, schedules) and inform expect more, pay less brand options (i.e. total cost of ownership, means and methods).

• Support construction financial routines: forecasting, cash flow projections, pay applications and audits.

• Develop business justification for product, data or system support

• Collaborate and foster strong relationships with internal and external partners to achieve project goals.

• Mitigate operational impacts at the site while controlling changes that may be required to meet the Company’s objectives.

Core responsibilities of this job may change at any time in the event of evolving business needs.
