• Drive project planning, execution, and risk mitigation strategies to support successful project delivery
• Ensure compliance with company standards, client specifications, contractual obligations, and safety expectations
• Support staffing coordination, resource planning, and project execution scheduling
• Promote a strong culture of safety, accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement
• Support construction execution, startup coordination, and commissioning activities as needed
• Provide leadership and direction to multidisciplinary project teams throughout the project lifecycle

• Prior EPC experience supporting utility-scale or industrial clients including data centers, manufacturing facilities, or high-load consumers
• Experience managing startup and commissioning coordination activities
