You will walk the sites to check progress, quality, and compliance with project specifications. You will also set the tone on safety, especially around contractor work activities.

The Impact

Public infrastructure at this scale changes a city. You will be the connection between the client, subcontractors, and your own team, and your decisions will shape how a major piece of New York City construction gets built.

Our client values long tenure and stability. Fit and personality matter here as much as the résumé. They need someone in the seat as soon as possible.
