Work directly with engineers of record, property managers, owners and condominium representatives. Coach and develop Project Managers while improving consistency, accountability and operational execution across the portfolio.

Strong understanding of crew productivity, scheduling, equipment deployment, job costing and field execution. Ability to read plans, understand scopes and communicate effectively with estimators, engineers and field personnel. Strong leadership and client-facing communication skills.
