What You’ll Do

• Support the Senior Project Manager and Project Manager with day-to-day project operations, including schedule, financials, safety, quality, diversity, and overall project goals.
• Help coordinate and communicate with project team members, including Project Engineers and Assistant Project Engineers, to support strong team performance throughout the project lifecycle.
