  • Proficiency in construction software tools (e.g., Procore, Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar).

  • Strong organizational and leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple subcontractors and disciplines.

  • Willingness to travel and work extended hours as required by project schedules.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior experience with utility clients (e.g., Xcel, PG&E, Duke, AEP, etc.).

  • OSHA 30, CPR/First Aid certification, and NFPA 70E training.

  • Knowledge of renewable energy integration or BESS-related substations.

  • Experience with civil scopes (grading, foundations, trenching, conduit routing) and mechanical rigging
