• Experience: 15+ years of hands-on experience in land development and/or extensive site/civil/heavy construction project management; safety requirements and issues on construction sites; design experience and a thorough working knowledge of contracts, safety, construction means & methods, scheduling, estimating, subcontractor management, & quality control.
• Skills: Excellent technical and analytical skills; strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability: You can safely climb/navigate ladders, roofs, scaffolding, etc. for inspection activities.
• Other: A clean background screen, a driver’s license, and the ability to drive.
