• Read, identify, and understand contract drawings and submittals; review and coordinate procedures for delivery, unloading, installation, and start-up to optimize production
• Plan work in advance by reviewing, understanding, and recording estimated production goals during planning; provide feedback during execution and verify materials and subcontracts are adequately scheduled to meet production goals
• Communicate over- and under-budget items to the Project Manager daily, and work to find creative solutions to improve budget issues

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 10+ years of relevant job experience in the construction industry
• 4-year construction degree or equivalent combination of related technical training and experience
• Experience in the construction of highly complex water and wastewater treatment plants is highly desired
• Experience in vertical construction of facilities for commercial, industrial, and/or public use is required

We also offer supplemental life, dental, and vision insurance, along with accident, hospital indemnity, and critical illness coverage for added peace of mind.

We invest in our employees' futures through a traditional and Roth 401(k) with up to a 4% company match, profit sharing, and discretionary bonuses. Employees enjoy paid time off, paid parental leave, and support for continuing education and professional registrations, plus assistance with warehouse club memberships, gym fees, and race entry fees.
