The Role
Youve built your 10,000 hours. Now youre looking for a role where you can step up, take real responsibility, and help deliver outstanding residential construction work : safely, efficiently, and without surprises.
As Technical Coordinator, your role is to turn vision into execution. Working across structural, planning, and interior design, youll ensure that everything a project needs to be built right : from sequencing to safety : is thought through before it hits site.
Youll also play a vital role in protecting the customer experience. Construction can be overwhelming, full of technical disagreements, back:and:forth, and unclear language. Your job is to shield the customer from that stress : making sure their project flows clearly, cleanly, and confidently without them being pulled into unnecessary technical friction.
This is not a caretaker role. This is a builders role. A systems role. A get:it:done:right role : in service of the customer, the team, and the end result.
