- Organize project documentation, submittals, and progress reports to support accurate project tracking.
- Coordinate with field supervisors, tradespeople, subcontractors, and project stakeholders to identify construction issues and support practical solutions.
- Apply firsthand knowledge of construction sequencing, installation activities, and jobsite operations to help keep project scope, schedule, and budget aligned.
- Help communicate field conditions and project priorities between construction crews and project management teams.
Qualifications
- Hands-on trade experience in industrial construction preferred, particularly in mechanical construction, piping, structural steel, or related industrial trades.
- Experience progressing from field work into construction planning, project controls, project coordination, or construction project management-or demonstrated readiness to make that transition.
- Experience as a foreman, field supervisor, construction planner, project coordinator, or project controls professional is valuable.
- Practical understanding of construction methods, construction sequencing, jobsite operations, and field coordination.
- Ability to communicate effectively with field crews, understand installation challenges, and translate jobsite needs into project actions.
