Career Paths
From recent college graduates to those with decades of experience, Hoffman offers opportunities for construction professionals at every stage of their career.
Field Operations
Hoffman is known for our safe, efficient, and well-organized jobsites. That reputation starts with our field leadership – Superintendents and Project Engineers – who set the standard for excellence. From site safety and scheduling to solving technical challenges, these professionals are at the heart of the action, working directly with trade supervision and craftworkers to deliver Hoffman projects on time, with world-class quality.
Project Management
Hoffman’s Project Managers are the face of a project: the “buck stops here” people, the folks with ultimate responsibility for execution of the contract. They succeed through integrity and strong leadership; a keen sense of fairness, transparent communication, and trust.
Scheduling & Estimating
How much will it cost? More important, how much should it cost? How do we get best value? Hoffman estimators bring a combination of art and science to provide early, accurate estimates; identifying the cost of each building component, while anticipating market conditions, risk factors and other intangibles to create a “no surprises” budget.
Hoffman’s schedule performance has set new industry standards. Our Schedulers get us there on time, working closely with project teams, especially superintendents, to develop durations and sequencing that save time – and money – and make promised completion dates a reality.
BIM & Virtual Design and Construction
Over 20 years ago, Hoffman pioneered the use of Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction applications on projects such as the Frank Gehry-designed MoPOP Museum, an extremely complex structure that was deemed “impossible” to build using conventional methods. Today our staff of experienced coordinators, specialists and technicians use state-of-the-art applications and tools to assist in all phases of preconstruction and construction, helping develop lean workflows using self-perform modeling, 4D and 5D development, scan data, and drone-based photogrammetry.
Safety
Planning, training, teamwork, individual vigilance; these are the hallmarks of Hoffman’s safety culture. More than simply policies and procedures, our Get Us There Safe (GUTS) campaign gives equal focus to the human side of the equation, instilling a deep commitment to safety that reaches from management to craftworkers. Our Safety Professionals are on the front lines, working to ensure that our jobsites reflect Hoffman’s safety culture at every level.
Professional Services
The action on the job site is only part of Hoffman’s day-to-day operations. We also rely on a deep bench of corporate professionals to keep our projects running smoothly and maintain our industry leadership. Employment opportunities at Hoffman range from Marketing and Business Development to Accounting, Information Technology, and more.
University Internship and New Graduate Programs
Our University internship and new graduate programs are more than opportunities; they’re incubators of dreams and launchpads for success. We take pride in hiring the very best in the business—and in helping each and every employee build a long and satisfying career.
