• Proactively identify and resolve project risks, site challenges, and schedule pressures in fast-paced environments;
• Lead communication with clients, consultants, and stakeholders, addressing challenges directly and effectively;
• Mentor and support junior team members, fostering accountability and continuous improvement;
• Ensure all projects meet safety, quality, and schedule expectations in high-pressure, time-sensitive settings.

• 5+ years of experience managing industrial or commercial construction projects;
• Strong technical understanding of building systems and specialized construction environments;
• Experience delivering projects from pre-construction through closeout, including design coordination;
• Proven ability to manage high-pressure, schedule-driven projects with a strong sense of urgency and client satisfaction;
