• Manage construction administration processes, including requests for information (RFIs), submittals, change orders, pay applications, and related documentation.
• Monitor construction progress, identify potential risks or challenges, and work proactively with project teams to develop solutions.
• Lead project startup and closeout activities, including coordination of project requirements, documentation, punch lists, and final deliverables.
• Review contractor schedules, progress reports, and payment requests to support project accountability and financial oversight.
• Coordinate with design teams, contractors, and client representatives to address construction issues, facilitate decisions, and maintain project momentum.
• Maintain complete, accurate, and organized project records, correspondence, reports, and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support compliance with contract requirements, applicable standards, and project-specific quality and safety expectations.

What you Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in construction management, construction administration, or a related field.
• Experience managing construction projects, preferably involving public infrastructure, municipal facilities, or community-focused improvements.
• Strong understanding of construction processes, contract administration, scheduling, budgeting, and project controls.
• Experience managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, and other construction documentation.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and independently resolve project challenges.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships with clients, contractors, and project teams.
• Proficiency with construction management software and project documentation systems.
• Professional credentials such as Certified Construction Manager (CCM) or Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) certification are preferred.
• Ability and willingness to travel to project sites throughout the greater Seattle/Tacoma area and other Washington locations as project needs require.
