• Manage procurement, bidding, contract negotiations, and consultant coordination.
  
• Oversee cost planning, forecasting, change management, and financial reporting.
  
• Direct scheduling activities, including milestone tracking, phasing, and long-lead item coordination.

Construction & Compliance

• Manage construction execution to ensure conformance with contract documents, quality standards, and healthcare regulations (HCAI/OSHPD, CMS, TJC, NFPA, ICRA).
  
• Ensure infection control, interim life-safety measures, and operational continuity within active facilities.
  
• Maintain a strong culture of safety, quality, and collaboration on all project sites.

Delivery & Team Development

• Lead commissioning, closeout, and occupancy activities to support smooth transitions to operations.
  
• Facilitate clear communication with executive, clinical, and operational stakeholders.
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to the development of a high-performing project team.
