About NWM Risk Management:

We partner with banks and lenders to monitor the progress of residential and commercial construction projects. Our role is to ensure that the funds being released align with the actual progress on-site.

What You’ll Do:

• 6. PPE gear: Closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a safety vest are required.
