Coordinator, Contract Services (Procurement Officer)

Build More Than Contracts. Help Deliver Critical Infrastructure.

Are you a detail-driven procurement professional who enjoys bringing contracts, people, and projects together? Do you thrive in a fast-paced project environment where your work helps move construction and infrastructure projects from planning to award?

If you bring sound judgment, strong communication skills, and a passion for problem-solving, this role is for you.
