- Communicate with Project Managers, inspectors, subcontractors, and owners' representatives

- Ensure work is completed to quality standards and project requirements
- Support punch list, closeout, and final project completion activities
What They're Looking For

- Ability to communicate clearly with field teams, management, subcontractors, and project stakeholders
- Organized, dependable, and able to stay ahead of daily jobsite needs
- Valid driver's license required

- Strong compensation for an experienced field leader
- Opportunity to take ownership of road construction and civil infrastructure projects
- Stable contractor with a growing pipeline of regional work
- Hands-on leadership role with real impact on crews, production, and project success
- Team environment that values practical field experience, accountability, and follow-through
- Long-term opportunity for someone who wants to be a key part of the field operations team
