If you thrive on clear plans, happy clients, and on-time delivery, this one’s for you.

• Team Leadership: Lead cross-functional teams (estimators, engineers, field crews) to hit milestones safely and on schedule.

• Risk Management: Identify potential roadblocks early, implement mitigation strategies, and keep projects on track.

• Continuous Improvement: Capture lessons learned and suggest process enhancements to boost efficiency and quality.

• Proven track record delivering projects on time, on budget, and with zero compromise on safety

• Strong communicator—comfortable presenting to C-suite clients and motivating field teams

• Proficiency with PM tools (Procore, MS Project, or similar) and a knack for data-driven decision-making

• PMP or equivalent certification is a plus

Perks & Benefits
