• Cost & Schedule Support: Track quantities, materials, and productivity; participate in monthly cost review meetings; support schedule development and short-interval look-aheads.
• Subcontractor & Vendor Relations: Help review scopes, track compliance documentation, join preconstruction and buyout meetings, and assist in monitoring subcontractor performance.
• Preconstruction & Closeout: Contribute to estimating (takeoffs, bid package prep) and support closeout tasks including final inspections, documentation, and owner turnover.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field (or equivalent training/experience).
• 1–4 years of construction industry experience, preferably in commercial projects.
• Familiarity with project management software such as Procore or Primavera is a plus.
