These certifications position HDZ Builders for sustained growth in municipal, aviation, healthcare, education, and commercial sectors.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Preparing detailed Division 9 estimates and proposals
  • Managing awarded projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Controlling project budgets, schedules, and profitability

  • Strong technical knowledge of estimating and construction operations

Candidates with backgrounds at KHS&S, Lotspeich, Precision Walls, Acousti, FL Crane, West Star, Ford Drywall, or similar firms are highly encouraged to apply.


Career Trajectory

This role offers a clear path toward senior leadership as the company grows, including potential advancement into roles such as:
