• Demonstrated experience reading, interpreting, and applying construction contract documents, plans, and specifications, particularly in renovation, rehabilitation, or historic preservation projects.
• Strong knowledge of construction practices, including MEP systems, roofing, hazardous materials abatement, accessibility (ADA), building conservation, and quality control/assurance processes.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Teams, Project or equivalent) for reporting, scheduling basics, and documentation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for drafting correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, and documenting issues clearly and professionally.
• Ability to maintain accurate daily/weekly records, logs (submittals, deficiencies, correspondence), and photographic documentation.
• Physical capability to perform on-site duties: walk stairs, kneel/squat, climb ladders/scaffolding, access roofs, enter confined spaces, use Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS), and work in a construction environment for extended periods.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation (site work requires mobility in downtown Hot Springs).

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience as a Construction Management Representative (CMR), construction inspector, or similar QA/QC role on federal government projects (e.g., NPS, GSA, or other agency contracts).
• Background in historic building rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, or work in National Park Service / cultural resource projects.
• Familiarity with NPS Division 1 specifications, federal procurement rules (FAR), Davis-Bacon Act payroll compliance, and historic preservation guidelines (e.g., Secretary of the Interior's Standards).
• Experience with Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project for schedule review/analysis.
• Knowledge of cost estimating, negotiating change orders, or time impact analyses.
• Relevant certifications such as ICC certifications, LEED, or historic preservation-related training.

Responsibilities

• Use NPS-provided ProjectTeam software for submittals, RFIs, correspondence, photo uploads, and document management.
• Serve as an on-site representative supporting the lead full-time CMR in observing and documenting daily construction activities across multiple historic structures in downtown Hot Springs.
• Assist in ensuring the general contractor's Quality Control (QC) Plan is implemented and functioning effectively, while the CM firm provides Quality Assurance (QA) oversight.
• Conduct regular site observations to verify compliance with contract plans, specifications, historic preservation requirements, building codes, accessibility standards, safety regulations (including OSHA), and NPS operational needs.
