• Site Presence: Spend significant time on-site in Texas to provide real-time leadership and ensure project momentum.

What we are looking for?

• Background: A strong foundation working for a General Contractor or developer is highly preferred. You should be comfortable overseeing architects, consultants, and engineers from a lead position.
• Qualifications (Ideal but not essential): B.S. in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering / PMP (Project Management Professional)
