• Gather and analyze subcontractor and supplier information and pricing.

• Review general conditions, schedules, scopes of work, equipment, labor projections, and

• Support the Project Management team by facilitating information transfer for successful

• Maintain up-to-date data on construction and material cost trends that may affect project

budgets.

• Participate in industry and community relations efforts to enhance the company's

reputation.

Qualifications:

on wet pipeline projects.

• Bachelor's degree in project management, engineering, construction, or a related field is

preferred, though equivalent experience will be considered.

• Familiarity with B2W (Bid 2 Win) and Planswift is a plus.

• Ability to break down complex construction operations into logical sequences of

activities.

• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks
