Ambassador Group completed this search for a construction management firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. The firm provides project management, owner representation, and construction consulting for public and private projects, and runs a maintenance division alongside. Principals stay involved with employees, clients, projects, and subcontractors, which keeps the firm small enough for leadership to work with clients weekly or daily while taking on complicated projects. The environment is collaborative and flexible, retention is high, and the firm mentors and promotes from within.
Role SummaryThe Project Engineer focuses on project administration and project management support for senior leadership, including the principals and the head of the maintenance department. The role is entry level, with two development paths: leadership in the maintenance division or growth into Project Manager. Mentorship from experienced construction executives is built in.
