  • Willingness to travel up to 25%, including international locations
  • Background with general contractors, owner’s rep firms, or tech/data center infrastructure
  • Familiarity with the full construction lifecycle including preconstruction, procurement, and delivery

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Lean methodologies, design-build, or integrated project delivery
  • Advanced degree or certifications such as AACE, RICS, or CMAA
