Maintain project documentation: RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, site logs, safety records, and progress photographs.
Support the Project Manager in ensuring projects meet quality, safety, and contract compliance standards.
Assist in client and owner communications as needed; maintain professional relationships with all stakeholders.
Review project deliverables, assist in close-out processes, and help ensure client satisfaction. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field or equivalent construction industry experience.
2+ years of experience in a construction project role (assistant project manager, coordinator, or superintendent support), ideally in a commercial or industrial context.
Familiarity with construction scheduling (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera, or equivalent) and cost-control systems.
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.
