• Identify and elevate nonconformance, discrepancies, and schedule risks early

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 10+ years in heavy civil and/or utility construction, with senior field experience
• Deep working knowledge of earthwork, underground utilities, and site development
• Ability to read plans and specifications and recognize when work is not tracking to them
• Comfortable serving as the senior owner's representative on a large site independently
• Willingness to work a rotating/extended schedule as the project scales to 24-7 operations
• PE, CCM, PMP or relevant certifications a plus, not required
