  • Communicate clearly with internal teams, clients, and stakeholders through consistent updates.
  • Contribute to business development efforts through project pursuits and proposals.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in commercial construction, including 3+ years in preconstruction or estimating leadership.
  • Strong understanding of estimating, scheduling, and risk management.
  • Prioritize collaboration, adaptability, and balance.

  • Familiarity with local subcontractor markets and vendor relationships.
  • LEED Accreditation or other relevant certifications.

Benefits
