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. In this position, you will be the bridge between design and construction-ensuring what gets built aligns with the architect's intent, the client's expectations, and the project's standards.

This is not a desk-only job. It's a balance of field presence, problem-solving, and coordination-where your experience will directly impact quality, timelines, and outcomes.

What You'll Do

You will work alongside project managers and design teams throughout the construction phase, serving as a key resource for contractors, clients, and internal teams.

Conduct site visits and observe construction progress to ensure alignment with plans and specifications

Lead or participate in construction meetings and communicate clearly with contractors and stakeholders

Review submittals, RFIs, pay applications, and project changes with a practical, solutions-focused mindset

Help resolve field issues quickly to keep projects moving forward

Support project managers with documentation, schedules, and construction administration tasks

Participate in constructability and quality assurance reviews during design phases

Coordinate substantial completion, final inspections, and project closeout

What You Bring

This role is built for someone who understands construction from experience and can apply that knowledge in a more strategic, advisory capacity.

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

Organized, responsive, and able to manage multiple priorities

A sense of urgency-you understand that delays in decisions impact cost, schedule, and momentum

Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with AIA documents, project management software, AutoCAD, or Revit is a plus

Willingness to travel throughout western North Dakota

Compensation & Benefits

$30-$50 per hour, depending on experience

Full-time, exempt position eligible for overtime (paid at straight overtime 1 times your hourly rate over 40 hours)

Benefits include:

100% paid health insurance for employees and child dependents

Employer-paid disability, life insurance, and identity protection

401(k) with 5% match after 6 months

Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave

Professional development and certification support

Company vehicle access for site travel

Additional voluntary benefit options (dental, vision, critical illness, and more)

Why Ackerman-Estvold

Work on projects that directly shape communities across the region

Be part of a collaborative, team-focused environment

Transition your field experience into a long-term, sustainable career path

Have a voice in how projects are executed-not just built
