The work is a mix of new construction valued at $1m–$7m and maintenance projects from $50k–$500k.
The role is mostly office based, with planned site travel and the occasional reactive visit to solve problems on the ground.
You will work closely with in‐house engineers, drafters, estimators, project controls and site supervisors.
