Site Leadership: Advise and monitor site staff and contractors; oversee the initial site establishment, conduct regular inspections, and solve technical hurdles in real-time during construction.

Technical Documentation: Prepare engineering proposals, cost estimates, and scopes of work. Review, mark up, and sign off on construction drawings with a keen eye for constructability.

Agency Liaison: Navigate interactions with municipalities, regulatory agencies, and owners to ensure all work complies with statutory and safety requirements.
