• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Civil/Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with construction software (like Procore or Foundation); familiarity with Primavera or CAD is a plus.
• Excellent communicator with strong organizational skills and a desire to grow professionally.
