What You Bring:

  • 8 years of industrial construction experience (GC or developer-side)
  • Proven success with ground-up tilt-wall builds — not renovations
  • Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Interior Design, or Construction Management
  • Strong leadership and communication skills to manage GCs, design teams, and vendors
  • Tech-savvy with Procore, Primavera P6, and Bluebeam
  • Local to the Norfolk, Chesapeake/surrounding area.
