Job Description

About Us

We’re here because the ‘old way’ wasn’t working.

Owners need people who can ask tough questions, make sound decisions, and be willing to fight for their best interests. And that’s what we do best.

At Iskagna, we’re grounded in the belief that building strong relationships is just as important as building strong projects. We’re a Charleston-based construction and development management firm with a passion for leading with heart, honoring our commitments, and serving our clients with clarity and conviction.

Founded in 2021, Iskagna was created to bring a more thoughtful, responsive approach to the built environment—one rooted in trust, transparency, and teamwork. We guide public and private clients through the full project lifecycle, helping them navigate challenges, manage complexity, and achieve outcomes that last.

  • Maintain organized project documentation, including meeting agendas & minutes, RFIs, submittals, invoices, and change orders.
  • Support procurement and coordination of owner-supplied items such as FF&E, artwork, and signage.
  • Lead coordination efforts with dry utility providers and jurisdictions.
  • Conduct regular job site visits to monitor progress and ensure compliance with budget, schedule, and quality objectives.
  • Facilitate project closeout, including punch list coordination and turnover documentation.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors, consultants, contractors, and client stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience in commercial construction project management.
  • Prior experience with design-build project delivery is a plus.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Prior experience with Procore, Autodesk Build, or similar software is a plus.
  • Experience with scheduling software such as Microsoft Project or Primavera P6.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Understanding of design, permitting, and construction administration processes.
  • Self-starter with strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently.
  • Collaborative mindset and a willingness to contribute to a growing firm.
