Build with purpose. Lead in the field.
Join us as the on-the-ground force who turns plans into places. In partnership with a proven contractor, we’re hiring an Onsite Construction Operations Lead in Chicago, IL to steer commercial projects—mixed-use, industrial, retail, and multi-unit—from first stake to final punch.
Imagine this scenario
A delivery truck arrives early with critical materials. An RFI answer prompts a detail change. An inspection is slated for noon. You realign crews, update the look-ahead, brief stakeholders, and keep the build moving—safely, on schedule, and within budget. That’s your craft.

- Motivate crews, remove roadblocks, and sustain jobsite momentum
- Hit deadlines and budget goals through disciplined planning and follow-through
What equips you
