Coordinate with project stakeholders to support communication, resolve issues, and execute assigned scopes of work.
Assist with logistics planning, field coordination, and daily reporting.

Entry-level role — some construction industry experience preferred, but not required.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction management platforms such as Procore, CMiC, and/or Navisworks a plus.

Hands-on mentorship from Superintendents and Project Managers from day one, not just shadowing.
