  • Demonstrated ability to lead large, complex construction projects while maintaining safety, quality, and budget adherence.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with experience managing client relationships and resolving on-site challenges.
  • Proficiency in MS Office Suite and familiarity with construction project management tools and processes.
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification required, along with strong understanding of safety and compliance standards.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or Engineering preferred (or equivalent field experience).
Benefits:
