Job Description

If you know construction, like being out in the field, and take pride in running clean, organized job sites with contractors who deliver — this role is for you.

In the office, you'll update our software system with the day's activities and updates, coordinate materials, schedule work, and keep the construction pipeline organized and on track.
A major part of the job is keeping our contractor and labor pipeline full — building relationships with reliable local tradespeople so we always have the right crews ready when work needs to get done.

- Supervise contractors and workers on-site
- Confirm assigned tasks are completed correctly and on schedule

- Ensure every job site is clean, organized, and safe
- Catch problems early and report issues to the operations manager
- Use our mobile app to log progress, task status, notes, and photos
- Keep the main office updated with accurate, real-time job info
Coordinate Materials
- Coordinate materials for active job sites
- Confirm the right materials are ordered, delivered, and on-site when needed
- Help keep material spending at or under budget
- Communicate with vendors, suppliers, contractors, and the office on material needs
- Prevent delays by making sure crews have what they need before work starts
- Track shortages, wrong items, delivery problems, and other job-site needs
What We're Looking For
