project, whether it's run by JLL, CBRE, C&W, or Newmark.* Confirm the agreed RACI is followed on every project, ensuring the right stakeholders – architects, engineers, security, WpX, facilities, AV,

full closure in Post-Construction. **Construction & Technical Fluency*** Read and follow construction drawings, schedules, and scope documents well enough to track progress, understand change orders and RFIs, and know when something needs to be escalated.* Sit in on construction meetings and project calls, understanding the conversation between architects, engineers, and construction project

typically progress and where they typically slip.**OSL & Stakeholder Support*** Support Office Services Leaders – treated as the Projects Program's “client” – by keeping them informed, prepared for

documentation, or tools need to be tightened up.* Support training of internal team members and third-party project managers on the standard project execution process, documents, and tools.**Regional

effective prompts to support consistent, repeatable project documentation and follow-up – this is a core, hands-on part of the role, not a nice-to-have.* Working proficiency with Microsoft Planner for task and workflow tracking.* Experience building and maintaining SharePoint sites, including document libraries and site structure.* Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear meeting notes, status updates, and closeout documentation.* Comfortable working cross-functionally with OSLs, architects, engineers, designers, security, AV, and third-party project managers.*
