• Maintain daily and weekly reports, project logs, RFIs, change orders, and documentation
• Conduct regular site visits to monitor progress, quality, and safety compliance
• Identify issues early and drive solutions to maintain momentum
• Manage project budgets, cost tracking, and support invoicing processes
• Communicate clearly with clients and internal leadership on status, risks, and next steps

Qualifications

• Strong technical understanding and ability to read drawings, specs, and shop drawings
• Self-sufficient mindset with the ability to learn quickly and solve problems independently
• Clear, concise communicator who follows up and keeps projects organized
• Two or more years of construction experience preferred (steel and PEMB experience a plus, not required)
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred (not required)
• Strong time-management skills and discipline in maintaining documentation and schedules

• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and manage multiple tasks at once
