Supervisory Responsibility

This position has no supervisory responsibilities.

The Engineering and Development Coach will operate in a dynamic work environment that combines office-based planning and field-based project oversight. The role requires frequent interaction with project teams, contractors, clients, and senior management, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. While primarily focused on coaching and professional development, the position also involves hands‑on involvement in multiple construction projects, requiring adaptability to changing project demands and schedules. Regular site visits will expose the incumbent to typical construction conditions, including dust, fumes, odors, dampness, high noise levels, varying outdoor weather conditions, and adherence to safety protocols. This role requires regular use of standard office equipment such as computers, printers, phones, and project management software.

The position may require standing or sitting for extended periods, lifting and carrying materials or equipment up to 25 pounds, and performing inspections in varying weather conditions. While much of the coaching and project planning work is conducted in an office setting, the ability to move safely and efficiently on construction sites is essential to effectively support project teams and fulfill dual responsibilities.
