• Manage client relationships and contribute to business development (approx. 30% of role).

• Participate in weekly PM coordination meetings to ensure project deadlines and client satisfaction.

• Mentor and collaborate with a skilled technical team to deliver high-quality outcomes.

• Travel occasionally (1–2 months, mostly Western U.S.) for site visits, project kickoffs, or conferences, with minimal overnight stays.

Why Join?

• Impact & Influence: Play a central role in shaping a firm with strong growth ambitions.

• Diverse Projects: Contribute to a wide range of industries and building types.

• Career Growth: Opportunities to move into leadership, business development, or new market expansion.

• Culture: Transparent, collaborative environment where your voice matters.
