  • Manage client relationships and provide regular project progress and financial updates.
  • Support punch-list completion, closeout documentation and final project turnover.

  • Comfortable coordinating with field leadership and managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical drawings, specifications and construction documentation.
  • Excellent communication, organization and leadership skills.
  • Willingness to travel or temporarily relocate to Cedar Rapids, IA for the duration of the project.


What's on Offer

  • Opportunity to work on a major hyperscale data center project.
  • Long-term pipeline of mission-critical projects throughout the U.S.
  • Competitive base salary.
