This role is ideal for a seasoned professional who understands architectural and engineering drawings, is comfortable meeting directly with clients, and can effectively direct project traffic across design, permitting, and pre-construction phases.

• Manage project schedules, deliverables, and deadlines from kickoff through approvals
• Translate jurisdictional comments and consultant feedback into clear action items
• Proactively identify coordination issues, risks, or delays and escalate as needed
• Support a smooth transition from design and permitting into construction
• Maintain accurate project tracking, documentation, and correspondence

Required Qualifications

• 4–8 years of experience in design-build, architecture, engineering, construction, or project coordination
• Demonstrated ability to read and understand architectural, structural and MEP drawings
• Experience working with permitting and review processes for residential and/or commercial projects
• Strong client-facing communication and meeting facilitation skills
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple active projects
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
