· Roughly half of your time will be spent at the branch location, where you’ll oversee inventory controls, maintain the facility, and handle administrative responsibilities.

Your daily work will involve using Sage, ERP systems, and Excel, and you’ll need a solid understanding of prime contracts and subcontract change orders to manage projects effectively.
