• Maintain full accountability for project budgeting, forecasting, billing, cash flow, and financial reporting, correcting variances as needed.
• Lead, mentor, and develop Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and other project team members.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, consultants, and subcontractors, building relationships that drive repeat business.
• Apply advanced construction means-and-methods knowledge to guide project planning, subcontractor coordination, and field sequencing.
