  • Lead project meetings and communicate progress, risks, and solutions clearly
  • Coordinate closely with field leadership to support safe, high quality work and keep the project on track

What you bring

  • 10 or more years of commercial construction experience, including project management responsibility for a general contractor
  • Experience managing ground up commercial construction projects
  • Experience with K 12 projects or projects valued at $100M or more
  • Strong skills in project scheduling, budgeting, forecasting, and contract administration
