Additional work includes helping communicate and document quality expectations, supporting quality reviews, identifying issues, and assisting with client experience and relationship maintenance. The position requires an associate or bachelor’s degree preferred, four years of relevant experience including two cumulative years of project support experience, and basic understanding of project execution and building design and construction principles.
