• Provides a single point of contact on site for utility owners and city inspectors, speeding up approvals and resolving conflicts immediately.

• Risk & claims posture: capable of drafting owner memos/position papers when late information or design changes impact schedule (e.g., CIAR updates, change notices).

What We Are Looking For?

• 5—10 years of direct field experience managing wet (water, storm, sanitary), dry (gas, hydro), and communication (fiber/telecom) utilities.
• Diploma/Degree in Civil Engineering/Construction Management or equivalent experience.
• Proven ability to supervise subcontractors performing utility relocations, protection, and tieIns.
• Strong knowledge of traffic staging and lane closures as they relate to utility work.
• Skilled in reading and interpreting utility drawings on site and resolving conflicts in real time.

• Excellent written/verbal communication; able to chair utility coordination meetings and produce action-oriented minutes.
• Strong knowledge of SUE processes, utility relocation, and permitting.
• Familiarity with traffic management and staging plans related to utility work.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and utility maps.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience on large-scale transit or infrastructure projects.
