  • Bring a strong network of Industrial clients and decision-makers
  • Leverage existing relationships to introduce new clients and opportunities to the company
  • Help expand the company’s Industrial footprint through both project leadership and strategic client development
  • Partner with senior leadership on continued growth of the Industrial business

Ideal Candidate:

  • 10+ years of Industrial construction experience (Big box warehouse, Distribution, Manufacturing - Food and Beverage, etc.)
  • Current or recent experience as a Project Executive, Senior Project Manager, Project Director, or similar
  • Proven track record leading complex Industrial projects
  • Strong financial and operational acumen
  • Established relationships with Industrial owners, developers, and decision-makers
  • A demonstrated ability to bring clients, relationships, and new opportunities with them
  • Strong knowledge of the Chicago/Midwest Industrial market
