  • Strong understanding of construction sequencing, site logistics, safety, and quality control
  • Ability to coordinate multiple trades across complex or multi‑phase projects
  • Background in new construction, rehabilitation, preservation, or technically challenging project environments
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred, or equivalent trade/field experience
  • Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • Ability to work closely with project teams, consultants, inspectors, union representatives, and trade partners
  • Proficiency with construction management software such as Procore, Bluebeam, Primavera, MS Project, and CM Builder
  • OSHA 30 and First Aid/CPR certifications required
  • RRP certification preferred
Why This Role?
  • Senior field leadership opportunity on complex, high‑profile projects
  • Strong exposure to project planning, field execution, logistics, and operations
  • Opportunity to mentor junior field staff and contribute to team development
