The ideal candidate is comfortable being on-site, managing shifting priorities, coordinating crews and deliveries, solving field issues in real-time, and helping to keep complex civil and modular construction work moving safely and efficiently.

As the next project ramps up, the role will transition to Lexington, Nebraska, supporting a large-scale modular data center build-out.

Assist with civil-site coordination, equipment placement, deliveries, logistics, and daily field execution.

Coordinate with superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, drivers, equipment operators, and project leadership.

Support planning and execution around modular building placement, generator installation, chiller installation, conduit work, rack deliveries, and other critical site activities.

Help manage a high volume of deliveries, equipment movement, and changing site conditions.

Maintain daily reports, site documentation, material and delivery tracking, punch-list items, and project updates.

Identify field issues early and work with leadership to keep the project moving safely and on schedule.

Maintain a strong safety presence and ensure work is performed in accordance with site requirements.

Operate site equipment when needed and authorized, including skid steers, forklifts, and lulls.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

7+ years of construction project management, field management, superintendent, or site leadership experience.

Strong experience supporting civil, sitework, industrial, commercial, mission-critical, modular, utility, or large-scale construction projects.

Comfortable working in fast-changing construction environments with frequent deliveries, multiple crews, and shifting priorities.

Hands-on equipment experience with a skid steer, forklift, and lull/telehandler is required.

Ability to read construction drawings, site plans, schedules, and installation documentation.

Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate effectively with field teams, vendors, subcontractors, and project leadership.

Willingness and ability to travel for project assignments.

OSHA 30 certification is preferred.

Data center, modular construction, industrial, logistics-heavy, or mission-critical project experience is strongly preferred.
