Administer project controls and documentation platforms (Procore, JDE, SharePoint); own estimate versioning, scope change tracking, PXP and project file management, and support monthly forecasting and reporting.
Lead risk management and joint readiness assessments for mission-critical projects; evaluate single-point-of-failure risks, redundancy strategies, and energy-as-a-service (EaaS) opportunities.
