Support estimating and proposal development for upcoming work. Coordinate procurement of materials, equipment, subcontractors, and outside services so crews have what they need when they need it. Keep clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and internal leadership informed on progress and decisions. Lead project closeout, final documentation, and lessons learned. Reinforce Orion’s safety expectations and stop work when unsafe conditions are observed or anticipated. What You’ll Need Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline. At least 10 years of relevant project management or construction experience. Strong knowledge of estimating, scheduling, procurement, cost control, project tracking, and change management. Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, scopes, and contract documents.
