• Perform early site due diligence to assist executive go/no-go decisions as needed.

• Structure contracts to appropriately allocate risk, protect the company’s interests, and minimize potential disputes.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction-related matters.
• Advise in all phases of any given project: programming, design, pre-construction, closeout, and operations - not just construction.
• Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions to senior management and other key internal stakeholders.
• Work cross-functionally with non-constriction functions like Security, Network Engineering, Facilities Management, Marketing, Kitchen Operations, Manufacturing, EHS, Legal, and many others.
