• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• A practical, solutions-oriented approach with the ability to anticipate and resolve issues before they impact the project.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high standard of quality and professionalism.

This position combines office-based work with regular visits to active construction sites throughout Metro Vancouver. You’ll spend time both in the office and in the field collaborating with project teams and contractors. No extended travel is required beyond local project sites.
