A bit about us:
Our client is a dynamic, full-service construction firm specializing in design-build and general contracting for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. With deep expertise coordinating both design and construction phases, the team oversees everything from site due diligence and conceptual layout through budget development, scheduling, and project close-out and turnover.
They have a strong presence in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana region and serve a variety of sectors including industrial, food & beverage, hospitality, office, and institutional work.
As a 100% employee-owned organization, each team member has a stake in the company’s success and contributes to a collaborative, accountable environment.

Meaningful, varied projects: Work on projects that span from conceptual design through construction across multiple sectors (industrial, office, hospitality, etc.).
Professional growth and hands-on experience: This role offers direct exposure to project management, budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and client interaction.
Culture of accountability and quality: The organization places high value on protecting clients’ interests—cost control, schedule adherence, and quality—and expects team members to help fulfill that mission.
Regional leadership: Operate in a robust Chicago/NW Indiana market with a company recognized for excellence and integrity in project delivery.

Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills—able to coordinate multiple tasks and communicate effectively with clients, subcontractors, and internal teams.
Proactive problem-solving ability; comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and managing priorities.
Understanding of contract documents (drawings, specifications, subcontracts), RFIs, submittals, and the change order process.
Ability to travel to project sites within the region as required.
Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); experience with construction management software a plus.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience on design-build delivery projects.
Prior exposure to industrial, food & beverage, or warehouse facility construction.
