• Plan Review & Field Administration: Read construction prints and field drawings, support daily jobsite safety requirements (JHAs), and maintain accurate job documentation and employee time tracking.
• Operational Adaptability: Serve as a versatile field leader who jumps in wherever needed to solve problems, eliminate bottlenecks, and maintain momentum on active projects.

Education and Qualifications:

• Proven Field Experience: Strong, hands-on background in commercial or residential construction (experience with drywall, acoustical ceilings, custom millwork, or specialty acoustic systems is strongly preferred).
• Technical Aptitude: Demonstrated ability to read and interpret construction plans, blueprints, and field prints.
• Shop & Site Comfort: High level of comfort working interchangeably across active field job sites and shop/fabrication environments.
