A Legacy of Building Careers

At HGC Construction, we’re building for the long haul.

We believe exceptional projects are built by exceptional people who share our values. We know our employees are more than their job titles—they’re people with families, interests, and lives beyond work. That’s why we work hard, support one another, celebrate wins together, and create opportunities for growth.

Our teams are united by a commitment to quality, integrity, and doing the right thing. We’re not just building structures—we’re building careers, relationships, and a legacy that lasts.

• Develop a thorough understanding of project plans, specifications, owner contracts, HGC Master Subcontractor Agreements (MSA), and project scopes of work.

• Maintain project drawings, specifications, directories, and information in Procore and shared drives; request, track, and review subcontractor and supplier submittals, shop drawings, product samples, and RFIs.
• Create and monitor procurement logs, track permits for HGC and trade subcontractors, and lead project meeting agendas and maintain meeting minutes.
• Build, maintain, and update project schedules in Phoenix, and drive Lean construction processes through weekly work plans, look-ahead schedules, and pull-planning meetings.
• Manage project cost controls and report financial status to management, applying Viewpoint standards for job startup and job cost setup.
