• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical or mechanical drawings and specifications
• Experience working directly for a General Contractor or self-perform trade contractor preferred
• Strong communication skills and comfort presenting cost information to internal and client stakeholders
• Experience on large-scale, complex, or mission-critical projects (data centers, industrial, healthcare, or heavy civil) is a plus

Why This Role

• Join an organization consistently recognized as an industry leader in self-perform construction and preconstruction excellence
• Work on high-profile, technically demanding projects with real career growth potential
