• Support the development of prefabrication-ready standards, performance frameworks, and repeatable design guides
• Participate in charrettes, workshops, and design review sessions to move deliverables from draft to decision
• Identify issues early, propose solutions, and keep momentum on track

• 3+ years of experience in field construction, preconstruction, or estimating — ideally in a general contractor or AEC environment
• Strong understanding of design-build workflows and lean construction considerations
• Excellent communicator with strong writing and synthesis skills
• Comfortable working independently, owning timelines, and adapting in a fast-changing environment
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action
• Industrialized construction experience is a strong plus, but not required
• Military experience or experience working with federal clients is a strong plus
