• Tracking and reviewing quantities for self-performed labor scopes of work
• Overseeing, training, and mentoring Project Engineers assigned to the project
• Working with the project Superintendent to regularly update the project schedule
• Collaborating with the design team to mitigate design challenges

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor of Science in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture
• Minimum of 7 years of construction project management experience in the Puget Sound region
• General knowledge of tenant improvement, interior renovation, and repurposing projects
