- Act as a point of contact for contractors and clients, responding to questions and resolving issues quickly.
- Coordinate construction administration tasks.
- Work independently to manage time, site visits, and in-office responsibilities based on project priorities.
- Prepare and maintain detailed field reports and project documentation.
Requirements/Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering; candidates with construction administration experience and civil design background will be considered.
- 1–4 years of experience in construction administration and civil design preferred.
- Proficiency in civil design software, AutoCAD Civil 3D.
- Proficient in Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Word.
- Analytical skills for performing engineering calculations for design, analysis, test, and implementation of facility related systems.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with team members of diverse experience levels and educational backgrounds.
- Proficient in reading and interpreting engineering plans and specifications.
- Experience developing drawings, specifications, test procedures, and maintenance/training documentation.
- Self-motivated and organized, able to manage own schedule and prioritize tasks effectively.
- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills; regular interaction with clients, contractors, and cross-functional internal teams is a core part of the role.
- Awareness of OSHA safety requirements for active construction sites.
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license (mileage reimbursement is provided).
- Ability to travel for short-duration business trips, including some international travel, as needed.
