• Develop, maintain and actively manage detailed project schedules.

• Understand project contracts, scope, drawings, specifications and requirements.
• Manage scope changes and change orders, including their cost and schedule impacts.
• Coordinate effectively with clients, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers and RAS's internal teams.
• Work closely with our design, production and site teams to keep information and work flowing effectively.

• Lead project meetings and ensure decisions, responsibilities and commitments are clearly communicated and followed through.
• Support quality and safety expectations throughout project delivery.
• Build strong client relationships through proactive communication, responsiveness and problem solving.
• Complete project closeout and use lessons learned to improve future project execution.

Required

• 5+ years of hands-on framing experience
• 3+ years supervising framing crews on mid-rise wood-frame buildings, including quality control inspections, directing crews on how to complete tasks, reviewing and approving RFIs, and performing material takeoffs

The successful candidate will:

• Be comfortable learning and adopting new technology.
• Actively use AI tools where they can improve planning, communication, analysis or administrative efficiency.
• Look for opportunities to improve workflows, systems and project-management processes.
• Be willing to adopt new processes rather than relying on"this is how I've always done it."
• Use project data and digital tools to support better decision-making.
• Take ownership of improvements and help drive them through implementation.
