Position Summary :

As a Field Project Manager at TimberBLDR, you will be a driving force behind mass timber construction, blending technical expertise, business strategy, and hands-on leadership to ensure projects are executed with precision, innovation, and profitability.

Client & Partner Relations : Develop and maintain relationships with developers, architects, and ownership teams to promote mass timber solutions and secure future opportunities. Work proactively with general contractors to ensure TimberBLDR is positioned as a trusted partner rather than just a subcontractor.

Strategic Planning & Business Development : Assist in long-term business strategy, including identifying new markets and expanding TimberBLDR's influence in the mass timber industry. Contribute insights on market trends, new construction technologies, and TimberBLDR's competitive positioning.
