- Assist estimating and preconstruction teams with takeoffs, scope reviews, project setup, and turnover activities
- Work with BIM/VDC teams to identify coordination conflicts and provide field-ready project information
- Participate in project meetings, jobsite visits, and day-to-day field coordination

This opportunity is ideal for an electrical construction professional who wants direct project responsibility, meaningful field exposure, and a long-term path into Project Management.
