THE TYPE OF PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate should be able to look at a project and ask:

“Where is this project right now? What is holding it up? What needs to happen next? Who do I need to contact? And when should I follow up again?”

You will be responsible for keeping projects moving and making sure deadlines, applications, inspections, and utility requirements are followed up on.
