Own project closeout documentation, including as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, and turnover packages
Ideal profile
Previous experience in project coordination, project administration, or construction operations
Commercial construction experience; mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or MEP contracting experience is strongly preferred
Working knowledge of RFIs and submittals, change orders, purchase orders, subcontracts, lien waivers, and closeout documentation
Exposure to job costing, construction billing, budgets, or project financial tracking
Strong organization and the ability to juggle changing deadlines across multiple projects
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word, and experience with Bluebeam and construction management software
Ability to read mechanical drawings and specifications is a plus
An associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Business, or a related field is preferred but not required
Compensation & benefits
The posted base salary range is $57,000 to $67,000, with an annual discretionary bonus, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k), paid vacation and holidays, and life insurance.
