• Prepare and maintain daily reports, field logs, progress updates, meeting documentation, and weekly client deliverables.
• Proactively identify and elevate risks or issues that could impact schedule, cost, quality, commissioning, or operational readiness.
• Support turnover planning, commissioning activities, project closeout, punch list completion, and final documentation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline preferred.
• Experience supporting data center, mission-critical, industrial, advanced manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, or large-scale commercial construction projects preferred.
