• Promote high standards for safety, quality, customer service, and project execution.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree or 10+ years of progressive construction experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing mechanical, plumbing, and/or sheet metal construction projects.
• Experience managing projects valued at $10 million or more strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of construction financials, including WIP, backlog, cost forecasting, profitability, job costing, and financial reporting.
