• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, and construction teams.
• Support construction estimating, quantity takeoffs, budgeting, and cost tracking.
• Prepare and review Scopes of Work (SOW), proposals, and construction documentation.
• Assist with material procurement, purchase orders, and delivery coordination.
• Monitor project progress and provide updates to Project Managers.
• Coordinate permit applications, inspections, and construction documentation when required.
• Identify potential project delays, scheduling conflicts, and material shortages.
• Maintain accurate project records using construction management software.

Mandatory Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a closely related field.
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience specifically in the construction industry.
• Previous experience as an Assistant Project Manager, Construction Project Coordinator, Construction Estimator, Project Engineer, or Construction Project Manager.

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken).
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with U.S. construction companies or U.S.-based projects.
• Familiarity with U.S. construction processes, permitting, inspections, and building codes.
• Experience with Buildertrend, Bluebeam, Procore, AutoCAD, or similar construction software.
• Experience preparing quantity takeoffs, construction estimates, and Scopes of Work.
• Experience coordinating subcontractors and suppliers for residential or commercial construction projects.

Who Should Apply?

We encourage applications from:

• Civil Engineers with construction project management experience.

• Construction Project Engineers.
• Assistant Construction Project Managers.
• Construction Estimators with project coordination experience.
• Construction Project Coordinators with a technical construction background.
