Within 6–12 months:

• Financially disciplined and detail-oriented
• Comfortable holding teams accountable professionally
• Data-driven and operationally aware
• Direct and transparent communicator
• Interested in building long-term financial structure

This role offers the opportunity to build financial discipline within an established and growing construction platform committed to operational excellence and long-term stability.
