Job description

Big Ideas Need a Detail Hero

Our VP of Marketing and EVP of Sales & Business Development have no shortage of ideas. They're visionaries, relationship builders, and big-picture thinkers.

What they need is someone who loves the details they'd rather not think about. Someone who can anticipate what's coming next, keep priorities moving forward, and create order out of organized chaos.

If you like having 14 tabs open, actually know what's in every one of them, and can fix a calendar triple-booking without breaking a sweat, we should talk.

Get to Know Granger

Since 1959, Granger has been building more than buildings.

As an ENR Top 400 contractor, we deliver construction management, design-build, integrated project delivery, and general contracting services for healthcare, higher education, K-12, public sector, commercial, and industrial clients.

We're proud of the work we do, but we're even prouder of how we do it. We believe in the Golden Rule, leading with integrity, supporting one another, and creating an environment where people can do meaningful work while enjoying the journey.

Bring the Celebration

Be a Team Player

What Makes You Successful

• You're highly organized and thrive on keeping things moving.
• You can adapt quickly when priorities shift.
• You enjoy solving problems and finding solutions.
• You build strong relationships and communicate professionally.
• You take ownership and follow through.
