This role reports directly to the Director of Construction and acts as a support function across construction operations.

• Train and support users on company processes, tools, systems, and reporting expectations.
• Create quick-reference guides, onboarding materials, process maps, and training resources.
• Work with project and field teams to identify tools or processes that are unclear, duplicated, difficult to use, or not producing reliable information.
• Improve how information flows between estimating, project management, site management, field operations, finance, procurement, safety, warehouse/logistics, and leadership.
• Support technology adoption by helping define how systems should be used, what information must be updated, and who owns the data.
• Improve reporting quality around production rates, labor performance, project health, cost-to-complete updates, issue aging, change orders, and process compliance.
• Monitor process adoption and help ensure tools are being used consistently across teams.
• Gather feedback from users and turn recurring issues into practical process improvements.
• Support change management when new workflows, templates, tools, or systems are rolled out.
• Help leadership gain better visibility into operational performance, process gaps, and improvement priorities.
• Perform other related duties and responsibilities as assigned in support of construction operations and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications:

• Diploma or degree in Construction Management, Business Administration, Engineering, Project Management, Operations Management, or a related field.
• Experience in construction operations, project management, project coordination, field operations, business process improvement, or a related role.
• Strong understanding of construction workflows, job costing, field reporting, project documentation, and operational handoffs.
• Proven ability to develop and improve standard operating procedures (SOPs), workflows, templates, checklists, and training resources.
• Ability to bridge construction operations and technology by implementing practical tools and improving business processes.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and coaching skills, with the ability to work effectively across field and office teams.
• Excellent problem-solving, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement skills.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a practical understanding of field operations and user experience.
• Ability to build relationships across departments, align priorities, and drive adoption of new processes and systems.

• Experience with ERP, CRM, Power BI, AI applications, and other construction or business technology platforms is considered an asset.
