Required Qualifications:
• 5+ years of Project Management experience, ideally in facility services, construction, general contracting, or related industries.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to write clean, concise emails and deliver polished presentations.
• Solid understanding of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, general construction, and facility service work.
• Ability to speak knowledgeably and clearly about technical topics to clients and team members.
• Willing and able to travel frequently, sometimes on short notice.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and prioritize competing tasks.
