- Build and maintain client relationships with mezzanine clients, architects, and consultants
- Monitor project performance (revenue, gross margin, safety, and customer satisfaction) and report to the MD
- Develop SOPs and workflows for the new department; lay the groundwork for future growth and hiring
Who we’re looking for
- Mid-level professional (e.g., Senior Estimator, Project Coordinator, Design Coordinator, or similar) with exposure to office partitions, fit-out, or fire protection
- Demonstrable interest in moving into a leadership/department-owner role
- Basic to intermediate experience in quoting, procurement, scheduling, and project management; ability to read drawings and specifications
