What you'll do:

• Crafting and sending bid solicitation letters to subcontractors like a pro
• Flexing your math skills with quantity take-offs (because numbers are your thing, right?)

• Helping make the big decisions with trade scope reviews and recap sheets
• Drafting recommendation letters to owners—because your opinion matters
• Keeping projects on track with regular schedule updates
• Managing the RFI process (Requests for Information) like a detective on a mission
• Overseeing submittals and keeping everything moving smoothly
• Tracking punch lists and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
• Making sure project closeouts are as clean as your job site
• Keeping an eagle eye on the Cost Control Log—because budgets are key
• Participating in PM and corporate meetings where your voice will be heard

What they're looking for:

• A strong communicator, both in writing and in conversation, who can get your ideas across clearly
• Tech-savvy and quick to learn new tools and systems
• Ability to bring an innovative mindset, always looking for creative ways to solve problems
