This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced construction environment, can stay organized across multiple moving pieces, and is comfortable handling both administrative and project management responsibilities.

This person will play a key role in keeping projects on schedule, maintaining accurate documentation, coordinating with field crews and subcontractors, and helping ensure timely communication around project changes, budgets, and scheduling.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can step in quickly, learn the business, and take meaningful work off the owner’s plate. They should be someone who is comfortable starting with support-level tasks and growing into a larger project management role over time. They should bring strong judgment, solid construction experience, and the confidence to operate with increasing independence.
