  • Lead project planning, risk management, and problem resolution efforts
  • Oversee change order management, project reporting, and client communication
  • Support operational strategy and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Mentor and support the development of project management team members

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Technology, or a related field preferred
  • 8+ years of project management experience in industrial, electrical, or construction environments
