    Successful candidates will be able to:

    • Perform takeoffs across multiple trades to fully understand project scope

    • Identify design gaps, conflicts, and constructability concerns
    • Resolve issues proactively through collaboration with design teams, owners, engineers, and trade partners
    • Analyze project risks and develop comprehensive cost strategies

    Professional Strengths

    We're looking for someone who demonstrates:

    • Exceptional attention to detail
    • Strong verbal and written communication skills
    • Professionalism when working with clients, architects, consultants, and trade partners
    • Initiative and a continuous learning mindset
    • Sound judgment and problem-solving abilities
    • Excellent planning and organizational skills
    • A sense of ownership and accountability for project success
    • A positive, collaborative attitude and commitment to team excellence
