• Partner closely with superintendents, owners, architects, and internal teams to keep everyone moving in the same direction.
• Manage contracts, cost controls, documentation, and reporting with precision.
• Hold stakeholders accountable and communicate proactively — no surprises.

Grow the Business

• Represent MCL in the community and contribute to a culture others want to be part of.

The Right Fit

You're a Strong Fit If You

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or Architectural preferred).

• Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.
• Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard—and they will—you stay engaged.
• Thorough — details matter. You don’t hand something off or close it out until it’s done right.
• Respectful — you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It’s not situational here—it's the standard.
