• Commercial and industrial construction
• Existing-building renovations
• General contracting
• Field supervision

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for more than someone who can manage schedules, paperwork and subcontractors.

The right candidate should be able to walk onto a jobsite, review an existing condition and determine:

What needs to be built? How should it be detailed? How will we fabricate it? How will we install it? And what problems need to be solved before the work reaches the field?

This position requires a self-motivated problem solver who takes ownership . We value people who ask good questions, communicate clearly, follow through on commitments and understand the importance of coordination between customers, engineering, detailing, fabrication and field operations.
