About the Team

At DFA, our team is our greatest asset and key differentiator in the market we serve.

Because no two projects are alike, our highly customized approach requires adaptability, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. As outlined below, our hands-on approach requires every member to remain flexible in dynamic situations, supporting one another, at times outside of regular job functions, to achieve the collective goals of each project and deliver exceptional results.

Success in this role requires seamless collaboration with team members to ensure smooth project execution from start to finish, including both major and minor tasks.

This role is a stepping stone to becoming a Project Manager, offering rapid growth opportunities for qualified candidates.
