About the Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically skilled professional with experience in structural plans, and US construction practices. This role is critical in helping bridge the gap between project drawings, field execution, and client communication.

The ideal candidate must be capable of independently reviewing plans, understanding construction scope, identifying project risks, and communicating effectively with both field teams and clients - without requiring constant supervision or explanation.

We are looking for someone who can think critically, ask the right technical questions, and develop a strong understanding of how plans translate into real-world construction operations.

• Communicate directly with superintendents, project managers, and clients to clarify project scope and field conditions
• Track drawing revisions and summarize scope impacts in clear written narratives
• Support billing validation by reconciling completed work against contractual scope
• Identify risks related to remobilization, missed scope, sequencing conflicts, or underbilling
• Develop a practical understanding of how drawings relate to field operations and construction means & methods
• Perform any additional responsibilities assigned by management.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in estimating, construction coordination, or related construction trades
• Strong ability to read and interpret structural, demolition, and architectural plans
• Understanding of US construction practices, terminology, materials, and field operations
• Familiarity with demolition sequencing, temporary shoring concepts, and structural considerations is strongly preferred
• Ability to independently analyze plans and understand project scope without extensive guidance
• Experience with quantity takeoffs, progress tracking, estimating, or field coordination
• Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
• Ability to ask meaningful technical questions and identify missing information proactively
• Proficiency in Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Excel, and Google Sheets
• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal)
• Comfortable communicating directly with US-based clients and field personnel
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and self-motivated

Deliverables

• Weekly project progress and scope reconciliation reports
• Quantity takeoff summaries
• Scope gap and drawing revision analysis
• Billing readiness recommendations
• Change order and T&M support estimates
• Risk assessments related to sequencing, missed scope, or remobilization
• Clear written summaries explaining project impacts and field implications
