- Review plans and drawings and make sure the important details don’t get missed
- Keep track of budgets, invoices, changes and all the little pieces that keep a project running smoothly
- Help with final inspections, punch lists and getting the restaurant ready for opening
- Spot potential issues early and jump in to help get things sorted
About You
- Background in construction, project coordination, development or a related field
- A degree in construction, engineering, architecture, facilities or a related field is a plus
- You can make sense of plans, drawings and project documents
- Naturally organized and good at keeping lots of moving pieces under control
- A confident communicator who is happy to chase an update when something is holding things up
