• Alternatively, experience within a commercial role in construction, construction supply, estimating, or document control will also be considered
• Strong numerical and analytical skills with attention to detail are essential
• Confident communication and relationship building skills
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
• Strong MS Excel skills required
