• Oversee project financials, including budgets, forecasting, profitability, and P&L performance.

• Hire, train, and manage a team of Project Managers while ensuring successful project execution.

• Maintain regular client engagement through site visits and ongoing business development efforts.

• Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and aligned with client expectations.
