Build projects-without swinging the hammer.If you've spent years in the field and know construction inside and out-but are ready for a role that's easier on your body and stronger on your influence-this is that next step.

Ackerman-Estvold is looking for a seasoned construction professional who understands how projects come together in the real world and wants to play a critical role in making sure they are executed right.

5+ years of construction, construction management, or related project experience

Strong understanding of building systems, materials, and construction sequencing

Ability to read and interpret construction documents with confidence

Experience working with contractors and navigating real-world jobsite challenges

Strong communication skills with the ability to hold others accountable while maintaining professional relationships
