Requirements

• 5+ years of project management experience, ideally in infrastructure, construction, or engineering-related environments

• Strong communication skills and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset – you’re comfortable working with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders

• Familiarity with project management tools or systems (experience with Procore is a plus)
