• Lead Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Project Coordinators with clear assignments, review expectations, and follow-up.

• Ability to lead and develop Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Project Coordinators.
• Comfort operating with full accountability on projects where no Senior Project Manager is assigned.
• Experience owning projects of increasing size, complexity, or risk profile.
• Experience with contract negotiation, claims exposure, or project recovery situations.
