• As a Construction Coordinator, you’ll work directly with project teams and gain experience in many aspects of commercial construction, including:
• Participating in daily and weekly safety meetings
• Assisting with jobsite safety inspections and reporting
• Learning how construction schedules are developed and managed
• Tracking project materials and deliveries
• Supporting quality assurance and quality control efforts
• Assisting with project documentation and document management
• Learning the RFI and submittal process
• Helping verify work is installed according to project plans and specifications
• Participating in trade partner and project coordination meetings
• Assisting with punch list development and project closeout activities

You'll gain exposure to the same processes used by field leaders and project managers every day.

What We’re Looking For:

• Recent high school graduate (or GED equivalent)
• Interested in building a career in construction
• Motivated to learn and take initiative
