• Represent E Contractors professionally and protect the company’s contractual and financial interests.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field .
• At least five years of project-management experience with a commercial general contractor.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects with responsibility for budget, schedule, subcontractors, and client relationships.
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and project controls.
• Experience with subcontractor buyout, cost forecasting, change-order management, billing, and closeout.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organization, time management, and follow-through.
• Ability to manage competing priorities without losing control of details or deadlines.
• Proficiency with Procore and Microsoft Office 365.
• Experience with Microsoft Project or comparable scheduling software.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to jobsites throughout the Greater Houston area.

Experience

• Public-sector, K–12, higher-education, municipal, healthcare, or institutional construction.
• Job Order Contracting or other indefinite-delivery construction programs.
• Renovation work in occupied facilities.
• Projects requiring phased construction, restricted work hours, or extensive owner coordination.
