- Ensure compliance with public contract requirements, certified payroll, bonding, insurance, and badging
- Participate in OAC meetings and contribute to clear, concise client reporting
- Support preconstruction efforts and proposal pursuits as the company continues to grow
What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of project management or field experience with a general contractor
- Exposure to public sector, K-12, or institutional construction, strongly preferred
- A self-starter mentality, you don’t wait to be told what needs to happen next
- Basic understanding of public contract compliance (prevailing wage, certified payroll a plus)

- Strong communicator who can hold their own in a room with owners, architects, and trade partners
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field, or equivalent field experience
