• Oversee procurement strategy for large‑scale or custom material packages
• Evaluate vendor proposals for long‑term cost and performance

• Provide performance insights and recommendations based on project data

What My Client Is Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management (or related field) preferred
• 7+ years of construction project management experience
• Proven success managing complex and/or high‑value projects
• Experience with custom curtain wall systems, unitized wall systems, structural glass wall systems, or architectural metal panels (highly desirable)
• Strong leadership, mentoring, and cross‑functional coordination skills
• Proficiency in MS Office and MS Project (or similar PM software)
• Valid driver’s license, safe driving record, and ability to carry required insurance per company policy
• Travel required based on project needs

Benefits
