• Collaborate with leasing, construction, and property management teams to ensure alignment of project goals. • Contribute to process improvement initiatives and assist in documenting best practices.

What we’re looking for: • A current university student enrolled in a degree seeking program studying Construction Management, Architectural Engineering, Real Estate, or other related program and in good academic standing • Strong organizational and communication skills.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Procore) is a plus. • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
