• Utilize Microsoft Project and construction management software to track project performance.

What We"re Looking For

• Experience leading industrial construction, environmental remediation, refinery, petrochemical, treatment plant, manufacturing, or heavy infrastructure projects.
• Strong background managing subcontractors, procurement activities, project financials, and contract administration.
• Experience overseeing projects ranging from approximately $1M-$10M.
• Ability to work in both field and office environments.
• Strong communication and client-facing skills.
• Comfortable supporting projects throughout the Western U.S.

Preferred Experience

• Industrial process facilities
• Refinery or petrochemical facilities
• Decommissioning or demolition projects
• OSHA 30 and/or HAZWOPER certifications
• Autodesk Construction Cloud
• Microsoft Project

Why This Opportunity?

• Long-term career growth, not just a project assignment.
• Opportunity to help establish a growing regional EPC operation.
