Senior VDC Coordinator (Charlotte)

The desire to pursue a career in construction may have been planted in your heart early, passed down from generations or seeded by an early fascination with the building process. There may have been the realization that construction aligns with your skills and interests. Or maybe it happened later, when you saw an opportunity to take your career in a new direction.

You want to be part of a team that shares this passion and sense of purpose—a team that works collaboratively, respecting and listening to each other and treating each other like family. You want opportunities to grow, and you care about work-life balance. You want to know that the company you work for is ethical and responsible.

We know you can work for any company, but if you want a career with a company that’s been named a Best Place to Work , is Building With Purpose®, cares about others, and allows you to be true to yourself, your calling, your passion and your values—come build something great with us. Be a True Builder®.
