Strong knowledge of construction means and methods, cost management, contract documents, scheduling, building systems, and South Florida subcontractor markets is preferred. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisation, analytical, and presentation skills are essential, along with proficiency in estimating and project management software. The position requires sound judgment, attention to detail, the ability to manage competing priorities, and a collaborative leadership style.
