- A safety-first mindset with the ability to monitor jobsite safety, document and correct unsafe work practices, and support Boldt's Zero Today goal
- Willingness to work throughout the Chicagoland area, including projects that may be within roughly a two-hour radius, with openness to broader Midwest travel when project needs require it
Desired Qualifications
- OSHA 30 preferred
- Experience with Primavera P6, Touchplan, or similar scheduling tools; the ideal candidate can read and help build schedules, even if they are not the primary scheduler
