In this role, you will perform cost modeling, hard bids, and design-build proposals for high-profile regional projects.

Work Environment and Physical Demands The Physical Side of the Role: A good portion of your day may be spent at a desk, requiring focused work, collaboration, data analysis, or strategy development. You should maintain effective communication and sharp visual acuity for reviewing complex documents and performing detailed computer work. There are times for quiet concentration, but you’ll also move actively throughout the office and travel occasionally to various locations, including dynamic construction sites, utilizing different modes of transportation. The ability to lift and move objects up to 10 pounds regularly, and up to 25 pounds on occasion (e.g., a box of files or small office equipment) is required. Your Work Environment: Primary workspace is in our professional office with typical quiet-to-moderate noise and light levels. You may also visit active construction sites, which can be more dynamic and involve exposure to outdoor weather, louder noise, and moving equipment. Your safety is our top priority, and you will follow Clark Construction's safety policies and procedures, and all applicable laws, at all locations. High-Performance Culture and Compliance Our High-Performing Culture: This is a demanding, high-performance environment. Candidates should be energized by challenge, thrive under pressure, and be prepared to do what it takes to achieve exceptional results. Success requires flexibility to work extended hours, especially during critical project phases or client deadlines. Beyond regular working hours, there may be occasions where business needs require attention, particularly for time-sensitive matters or emergencies. You are expected to monitor and respond to communications (phone calls, emails, text messages) as required to address these situations effectively. A Drug Free Workplace: Clark promotes a drug free workplace. A pre-employment drug “fitness for duty” screening is required, and the company conducts random quarterly drug “fitness for duty” tests. #J-18808-Ljbffr
