• Manage and coordinate all aspects of the project including budget, schedule, quality, and compliance with client standards.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with local regulatory approval processes and jurisdictional requirements.

What You'll Gain

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.

• Mentorship from experienced owner's representatives and program managers.

• Diverse project experience across healthcare, education, commercial, and government sectors.

• A clear path to senior roles as the firm grows.

• Exposure to AI-powered project management tools that make your job easier, not harder.
