• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) to articulate technical and non‑technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Proven ability to work cross‑functionally with engineering, design, and project management teams.
• Demonstrated ability to manage expectations and maintain strong relationships with government and contractor stakeholders.

Preferred skills
