- Collaborate effectively with internal departments, consultants, contractors, and third-party stakeholders to keep work aligned and on track.
- Prepare and deliver clear reporting materials, including status updates, risk logs, and resource forecasts.
- Support commissioning, operations readiness, and transition-to-maintenance planning as applicable.
- Ensure all construction activities comply with applicable environmental, quality, and safety standards.

- 10+ years' experience in successfully managing and overseeing large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
- Experience overseeing construction on behalf of an owner or agency, including contractor performance monitoring, change order and claim review, and field issue resolution.
- Working knowledge of construction contract administration, submittals, RFIs, inspection, and quality documentation on publicly funded projects.
- Proficiency with industry standard project and construction management software (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project, Bluebeam, eBuilder, Procore, etc.).
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).

## Preferred Qualifications
