  • Provide actionable solutions to enhance project profitability.
  • Complete and submit competitive project bids in line with established guidelines.

  • Primarily office-based with standard equipment.
  • Occasional site visits for project assessments and inspections.
  • Follow safety protocols and wear PPE when necessary.
  • Frequent interaction with team members and clients.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
Why Team Kline?
  • Competitive Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and short-term disability plans. Team Kline covers long term disability 100%.
