• Monitor and Report: You will track the status of all interface deliverables, collect key performance indicators, and provide monthly updates to program management on progress, risks, and any forecasted delays.
• Drive Issue Resolution: You are expected to proactively identify and resolve interface issues, manage changes to agreements in coordination with the Change Management team, and escalation critical issues that cannot be resolved at the project level.

• Proven experience managing medium-sized or complex projects, including construction delivery phases.
