Utilize Excel and general computer tools for tracking, reporting, and project organization.

Support estimation efforts and review project scopes as needed.

Travel to project sites (typically 1-3 short trips per month).

Maintain a proactive, "doer" mindset-able to sit down, focus, and complete tasks independently.

Demonstrate teachability and willingness to learn a highly specialized project environment.

4-7 years of experience in construction, industrial projects, mechanical systems, or related fields.

Experience with a GC, subcontractor, or engineering firm.

Highly collaborative, social team environment.

Brand-new facility with top-tier equipment and impressive views.

Fast-growing organization with a strong reputation and long-term customer relationships.

Emphasis on performance, teachability, and culture fit over pedigree or specific project experience.

Compensation targeted around $110K, with potential up to $120K for highly experienced candidates.

Company invests heavily in training and will support development in any skill gaps.
