At Plateau Excavation, we move dirt — but more importantly, we build the foundation for mission-critical projects across the Southeast and beyond.

  • Work closely with site superintendents, safety personnel, and field leadership to ensure compliance with safety, quality, and project specifications.
  • Prepare and maintain project documentation including RFI’s, submittals, meeting minutes, and change orders.
  • Facilitate communication between project stakeholders, including clients, engineers, and internal teams.
  • Assist in identifying and resolving project issues or delays quickly and effectively.
  • Attend project meetings and assist with progress reports.
  • Perform other duties as assigned to support project success.

Qualifications:

  • 1+ years of construction experience preferred (site development, grading, utilities, or heavy civil strongly preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred but not required with equivalent experience.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams in fast-paced environments.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office; experience with project management software is a plus.
  • Willingness to travel and work on-site full-time during the initial Virginia assignment.
  • Long-term desire for growth and career advancement within Plateau.
