• Support client, architect, designer, engineer, inspector, and subcontractor communication in the field.
• Collaborate with PM, APM, PA, and subcontractors to foresee and solve problems.

What we’re looking for:

• 20+ years of construction experience.
• 10+ years of experience as a carpenter or other trade experience.
