stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, sequencing plans, and milestone tracking.
• Review subcontract agreements, negotiate change orders, and manage cost controls.
• Coordinate inspections, testing, permits, reporting, and project documentation.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and coordination skills across field and office teams.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contracts.
• OSHA knowledge and commitment to jobsite safety is preferred.
• Willingness to travel regularly to project sites throughout the East Coast region.

WHY JOIN US
• Opportunity to work on complex and high-profile exterior restoration projects throughout the East Coast.
• Collaborative and team-oriented culture focused on quality, accountability, and professional growth.
