Maintain a consistent field presence supporting superintendents and trade crews.
Understand construction sequencing unique to waterfront and marine scopes.
Identify conflicts between marine scopes and adjacent civil/utility work and communicate early.

3–6 years of construction experience , preferably with exposure to heavy civil, marine, or waterfront work.
Knowledge of marine concrete, structural steel, shoring/cofferdams, or utility systems preferred.
