Represent KIRCO MANIX professionally with clients, partners, subcontractors, and the surrounding community.

What We’re Looking For

Approximately 5+ years of commercial construction experience, with demonstrated experience in field supervision or project leadership.
Experience independently managing significant portions of a commercial construction project or serving as the lead Superintendent on projects of moderate size and complexity.
Strong knowledge of commercial construction means and methods, sequencing, scheduling, and jobsite operations.
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and project documents.
Strong understanding of construction safety practices and the ability to actively lead a safe jobsite.
Proven ability to coordinate multiple subcontractors and trades while maintaining schedule and quality expectations.
Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
