• WIP updates and reporting of job financials to company leadership
• Coordination with superintendents, subcontractors, engineers, and owners
• Submittals, RFIs, and all project documentation
• Regular site visits to stay close to field execution

What sets you up for success

• 3–5+ years in heavy civil, water/wastewater, underground utilities, or site work (PM or PE)
• Cradle-to-grave management of $2M+ projects
• Fluency with budgets, schedules, contracts, and billing
• Ability to read plans and understand survey work
• Familiarity with tools like Procore, Viewpoint Vista, Primavera P6 (or similar) is a plus
