• Participate in construction meetings and communicate clearly with both internal and external project teams
• Support installers and field personnel with documentation, coordination, and issue resolution
• Assist in identifying and pursuing additional project opportunities where appropriate

Skills and Qualifications

• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple active projects, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to read and understand construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and scopes of work
• Comfortable communicating with general contractors, architects, engineers, owners, and subcontractors
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make sound decisions under changing project conditions
• High attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with internal teams
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office
• Ability to learn and use project-management, construction, and production-tracking software
• Willingness to travel periodically for site visits, meetings, and project support

Ideal Candidates Will Also Possess

• Previous experience in construction project management, construction administration, architectural products, signage, or a related field
• Experience working with large general contractors or on large commercial, industrial, or mission-critical construction projects
• Degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, Building Science, or a related field
• PMP certification or similar project-management credential
• Experience with BIM, Revit, Bluebeam, or other construction-documentation platforms
• Adobe Illustrator experience
• Experience with common construction pricing structures, including lump sum, unit price, cost-plus, GMP, and target-price contracts
