Given that a good portion of your day will be spent at a desk, you should be comfortable with prolonged periods of focused work, collaborating with colleagues, analyzing data, or developing strategies. The role demands effective communication and sharp visual acuity for reviewing complex documents and performing detailed computer work. While there are times for quiet concentration, you’ll also be expected to move actively throughout the office and travel occasionally to various locations, including dynamic construction sites.

The ability to lift and move objects up to 10 pounds regularly, and up to 25 pounds on occasion, is also required.

Your primary workspace will be in our professional office, which has a typical, quiet‑to‑moderate noise and light levels. As part of your work, you may also be required to visit active construction sites.
