If you're a results-driven leader with a commitment to quality, safety, and collaboration, we want to talk to you.
You'll report to the General Superintendent and spend your days coordinating field operations, managing schedules with project management software like Procore and Microsoft Project, and ensuring every phase of construction meets ICI's high standards. Expect regular travel (25-50%) to project sites across the region.
