• Reprioritize daily activities and respond to urgent jobsite needs on short notice
• Coordinate material needs, procurement requests, deliveries, storage, and protection of completed work
• Maintain safe, organized, secure, and professional jobsites; address hazards and reinforce company safety practices
• Ensure daily logs, progress photographs, and field updates are maintained in Buildertrend or company systems
• Communicate unforeseen conditions, potential changes, subcontractor concerns, and inspection deficiencies to Project Management; support punch lists and closeout

This is a full-time, field-based position serving multiple active jobsites in Central Massachusetts and surrounding areas, with coordination through our Leominster, MA office. Daily travel and flexibility to move between sites on short notice are essential.

• Demonstrated ability to oversee construction activities, field personnel, and subcontractors.
• Ability to manage multiple active jobsites simultaneously and maintain awareness of each project’s status and priorities.
• Required ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications, including site/civil, architectural, structural, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing documents.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, scheduling, site logistics, and coordination between trades.
• Highly flexible and responsive, with the ability to shift between sites and provide support wherever needed on short notice.
• Ability to independently assess field conditions, identify problems, and coordinate appropriate next steps.
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills with the ability to reprioritize competing needs.
• Clear leadership and communication skills when directing crews and coordinating subcontractors.
• Comfortable working independently while maintaining consistent communication with Project Management.
• Comfortable using smartphones, tablets, and digital tools for field reporting, scheduling, and communication.
• Experience with Buildertrend or similar construction management software is preferred.
