Commercial construction professional - Ground Up Construction
About the role
... (intro paragraph plus company description maybe). Must not include job title. The intro: "Project Management | Field Leadership | Estimating & Preconstruction BGC | G&G is looking for experienced commercial construction professionals with ground-up building experience who are ready to take on greater responsibility and build a long-term career with an established general contractor. Your background may be in project management, field supervision, estimating/preconstruction, or a combination of these areas. You do not need experience in every discipline. What matters most is that you understand how commercial buildings get built. If you can read plans, understand construction sequencing, coordinate subcontractors and trades, recognize problems before they become bigger issues, and take ownership of your work, we would like to talk with you. Depending on your experience, you may join us as a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager, Project Manager, Field Engineer, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, Junior Estimator, or Construction Estimator. Your position, responsibilities, and compensation will be aligned with the experience and level of responsibility you bring to the company. Build Your Career With an Established Commercial Contractor BuilderGuru Contracting, Inc. and Gardiner & Gardiner Contracting, LLC. -- BGC | G&G -- serve clients throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

Multiple members of our team have been with the company for 10, 15, and more than 20 years. We Build a Tradition of Trust." That's a lot but okay. Then Responsibilities: combine bullet list from three areas. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract bullet points: Project Management responsibilities: - project setup, buyout, schedules, budgets, cost control, RFIs, submittals, change orders, subcontractor coordination, owner communication, project meetings, punch lists, and closeout. - Experienced Project Managers may take ownership of commercial projects from startup through completion, including financial performance, schedule, client relationships, subcontractor management, and overall project execution. - Developing candidates may work closely with experienced leadership while progressing from Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager responsibilities into greater project ownership. Field Leadership & Superintendent responsibilities: - coordinating subcontractors, manpower, materials, deliveries, inspections, site logistics, safety, quality, field documentation, short-term schedules, and two-week look-aheads. - Experienced Superintendents should be comfortable anticipating upcoming construction needs, keeping trades moving, identifying schedule or coordination problems early, and leading field execution from project startup through final acceptance. - Developing field professionals may be considered for Field Engineer or Assistant Superintendent opportunities with the ability to grow into complete jobsite leadership. Estimating & Preconstruction responsibilities: - reviewing drawings and specifications, performing takeoffs, developing scopes, soliciting and comparing subcontractor pricing, preparing budgets and detailed estimates, attending pre-bid meetings and site visits, identifying scope gaps and constructability concerns, and developing value-engineering options. - Experienced Estimators may independently manage complete commercial bids and multiple active estimates. - Developing estimators may work alongside experienced team members while expanding their knowledge of commercial scopes, pricing, takeoffs, and subcontractor markets. We can combine into a single
- list, but maybe better to keep separate subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are the specified ones. So we can just have one Responsibilities section with all bullets.
Requirements: "What We Are Looking For" bullet list:
- Experience in commercial construction project management, field supervision, estimating, or preconstruction
- Working knowledge of ground-up commercial building construction
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, plans, specifications, and related documents
- Understanding of construction sequencing and subcontractor coordination
- Strong organization, communication, and follow-through
- Ability to manage changing priorities in an active construction environment
- Practical construction problem-solving skills
- Commitment to safety, quality, professionalism, and accountability
- Ability to work effectively with subcontractors, vendors, project teams, architects, engineers, owners, and clients
- Willingness to take ownership rather than simply identify problems
- Flexibility to work additional hours or occasional weekends when project schedules require it
- Candidates whose experience is limited to residential construction without ground-up commercial construction experience will not be considered for this opportunity.
Qualifications: Experience Level guidelines:
- Developing field candidates should typically have at least 2 years of relevant commercial construction experience.
- Experienced Superintendents should typically have 5+ years of commercial construction experience and the ability to independently run field operations.
- Project Management candidates may come from Project Engineer, Construction Coordinator, Assistant Project Manager, or Project Manager backgrounds.
- Estimating candidates may range from developing professionals with takeoff and plan-reading experience to seasoned estimators capable of independently managing complete commercial bids.
- We will evaluate the complete picture: your construction knowledge, project experience, technical ability, judgment, communication skills, and ability to take ownership.
Construction Technology & Certifications (helpful):
- Experience With Any Of The Following Is Helpful
- Procore
- Sage/Timberline
- TimberScan
- Construction estimating software
- Construction project-management systems
- Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and Office 365
- OSHA 30
- First Aid and CPR
- Commercial construction safety and inspection documentation
- You do not need experience with every system or certification listed.
We could put this under Qualifications or Skills. Since it's about experience with tools, maybe Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can combine some of the abilities from What We Are Looking For that are more skill-oriented. But to avoid thin sections, maybe we skip Skills and put those under Requirements. However we already have Requirements as experience; we could rename Requirements to "Requirements & Skills". But the instruction says use headings exactly as listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those we have content for. So we could have Requirements (experience + maybe skills) and Qualifications (experience level + tech). But that may cause overlap. Better to separate: Requirements = "What We Are Looking For" (skills and attributes). Qualifications = Experience Level + Tech certifications. That seems logical.
Thus:
