  • Support project execution: scheduling, submittals, change orders, RFI management.
  • Coordinate with subs, design teams, and field leadership.
  • Help manage budgets, procurement, pay apps, and contract compliance.
  • Own key logs and project documentation (Procore experience is a plus).
  • Be a problem-solver, relationship-builder, and critical player on a $75M job.


What You Bring

  • Ability to read drawings, understand trade scopes, and analyze cost impacts.
  • A team-first mindset and hunger to grow into a Project Manager.
