• 3–5 years of PM experience on commercial GC projects of $5M+


• Background in healthcare, commercial, or retail renovation with occupied buildings experience a plus


• Strong communicator who builds lasting relationships with clients, architects, and subs


• Proficiency in Procore, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Project, and Sage 100


• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Science or related field, or equivalent experience

Why The Burt Group

• Mentorship and learning directly from experienced senior leaders and builders
