• Assist with tilt-up panel layout review, embed coordination, bracing design review, and crane lift planning documentation
• Track project schedules, identify potential delays, and communicate proactively with the project team
• Process subcontractor and supplier change orders; assist with owner change order preparation and backup documentation
• Maintain quality control documentation; attend OAC meetings and prepare meeting minutes
• Conduct regular site visits to monitor progress, support the Superintendent, and develop field knowledge

QUALIFICATIONS

• 2–3 years of experience in commercial concrete construction — subcontractor side strongly preferred
• Exposure to tilt-up construction — panel layout, embed coordination, bracing, or erection sequencing a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred; equivalent field experience considered
• Proficiency with Procore, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office; scheduling software experience (P6 or MS Project) a plus
• Strong blueprint reading skills; ability to interpret structural drawings and concrete specifications
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple concurrent project deliverables
• OSHA 10 required; OSHA 30 preferred

• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with employer match
• Clear advancement path to Project Manager
