Junior Construction Field Manager

About the role

At Ecosystem we believe we should be accountable for results. That’s why we've integrated engineering and construction, seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And that's how we can efficiently solve complex energy and decarbonization challenges in the built environment. Here are some of the projects we've been working on recently: Adelphi University, Brown University and San Diego Padres Stadium.

At Ecosystem, we operate as an integrated engineering and construction firm: We design with construction expertise, build with operations in mind, and optimize every decision to hit the target. As a Construction Manager, you will be deeply involved throughout all phases of the project: you will have a strong influence during the design stage; ensuring constructability and operational efficiency, before leading its execution on site. Here, you won’t be given a step-by-step playbook. Instead, we define what the building needs to achieve—and you’ll have the flexibility, resources, and the full toolbox to determine how to get there.
