  • Travel occasionally as business needs require.

  • Proficiency with On-Screen Takeoff software.
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Experience using BuildingConnected.
  • Ability to develop scopes of work and coordinate subcontractor and vendor bids.
  • Established ability to work effectively with trade partners and project stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
