You will lead and mentor large, cross-functional teams, serving as a technical and project management expert to successfully complete construction projects and motivate team members at all levels.

Effective communication across departments, from frontline staff to executive management, will be essential as you address project issues and propose solutions based on your experience.

Daily tasks may include site validation, due diligence, risk analysis, design management, contract negotiations, and stakeholder management. You will also familiarize yourself with zoning, planning, fire codes, and building regulations for jurisdictional coordination.

You will act as the primary escalation point for evaluating the feasibility of potential future projects, ensuring issues are documented and resolved through effective influence.
