  • Support change management processes, including pricing and documentation (ASI, PR, CCD, etc.)

  • Help coordinate and document OAC and subcontractor meetings

  • Assist with project closeout, including turnover documentation and as-built drawings

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

  • Experience supporting mission critical, data center, advanced manufacturing, or similarly complex projects

  • Familiarity with construction technology platforms such as CMiC, PlanGrid, BIM 360, Assemble, or similar systems

  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to adapt in a highly technical, schedule-driven construction environment

Preferred Experience
  • Exposure to projects with high MEP coordination, commissioning requirements, or critical uptime considerations

  • Prior experience working in field-based roles on large, ground-up builds

Project Location & Travel

  • The project is located in West Texas, about 90 minutes outside of of the Midland–Odessa region
  • Midland–Odessa International Air & Space Port (MAF) serves as the primary airport hub for project travel
  • Relocation, per diem, housing, and travel support are available for qualifying candidates
  • Travel home may be taken every two weeks and will be reimbursed, with up to two flights covered.

  • This is a 2–5 year, project-based assignment with long-term stability and continuity
Physical Requirements
  • Combination of standing, walking, and sitting throughout the workday

  • Ability to climb stairs and navigate active construction sites

  • Frequent use of hands for computer and document management tasks

  • Ability to lift up to 40 lbs
