• Maintain and foster strong relationships with clients, design teams, and trade partners.
• Provide input during preconstruction on budgets, schedules, constructability, and logistics.
• Ensure strict compliance with company safety standards and quality control processes.
• Forecast and manage project financials including cost‑to‑complete and cash flow.
• Mentor and develop junior staff and foster a culture of teamwork, accountability, and trust.
