This is a high-visibility, high-impact role where you're the one keeping multi-million-dollar programs on track — from early planning through final closeout — while healthcare facilities stay operational around you.If you thrive at the intersection of construction, client relationships, and big-picture program strategy, this is the seat for you.Why join us?Competitive compensation Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with employer-subsidized premiums 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar employer match plus potential discretionary contributions based on tenure HSA and FSA options with employer contributions to help offset out-of-pocket costs Generous PTO, paid holidays, and well-being time — front-loaded, not accrued over years 100% salary replacement during extended medical leave Substantial tuition reimbursement and professional development funding Paid bereavement with a flexible, human definition of loss Digital health and wellness perks at no cost to you And much more!Job DetailsWhat You'll Do:You'll be embedded as the client's day-to-day construction partner — their eyes, ears, and voice on the ground — while leading a full portfolio of capital projects.
