Fitting in the commercial category, but growing larger deals Team sizes can range from 2-20 depending on project size Commercial properties are 60% new builds, 40% Retro Very important that these folks are Honest about their ability to perform a submittal process. Don't bluff, they will train if needed, but will lower the offer price on a candidate that is inexperienced Much be able to read Blueprints Mechanical and plumbing experience is the largest requirement, will be able to train on other focuses for the role, but the mechanical and plumbing side would be the hardest to catch on to Spectrum project management software, switching to BuildOps with time Confidence and excitement in the interview process will be big. Communication is a key part to the role as they will be client-facing heavily.
