Construction Innovation Coordinator
Bird is seeking a Construction Innovation Implementation Coordinator to support the practical implementation of work packaging, planning, digital workflows, and construction innovation initiatives across its data centre portfolio.
This project-facing role will work directly with project managers, construction managers, superintendents, forepersons, Workface Planners, Project Controls, engineering, procurement, quality, safety, document control, and subcontractors.
