  • Develop knowledge of industrial construction across manufacturing, distribution, cold storage, advanced technology, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and food processing facilities 

  • Participate in post-project reviews and document lessons learned for future planning and estimating efforts 

  • Travel periodically for project meetings, site visits, training, and client engagements as required 

What You'll Bring 

Qualifications 

  • Bachelor of Science in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field 

  • Construction-related experience gained through an internship, co-op, academic project, or professional role 

  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and project documentation
