• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field (equivalent field experience will be considered).
• Travel Flexibility: Ability and willingness to travel to Laredo, TX one week per month as a standard operational requirement.
• Technical Proficiency: Mastery of construction management software (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid), scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6), and estimating/purchasing platforms.
• Core Competencies: Exceptional negotiation skills, deep knowledge of procurement processes, strong mechanical/structural acumen, and the ability to troubleshoot complex field challenges independently.
