• Support risk identification, quantitative risk analysis, and contingency management in collaboration with project management.
• Interface directly with the client on project controls methodology, status, forecasts, and recovery planning.
• Build, mentor, and manage a locally based project controls team (Las Vegas / Henderson or regional).
• Support proposal development, estimate reviews, and transition from bid to execution, ensuring controls readiness at project mobilization.
