A bit about us:

Job Details
We are seeking a senior rail executive to step into a high-impact leadership role on a multi-billion-dollar transit program in Los Angeles. This position sits on the owner side, overseeing design-build delivery and driving outcomes across schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment.

Key Responsibilities:
- Provide executive oversight of design-build rail delivery
- Act as the owner's representative across engineering, construction, and program teams
- Drive schedule, cost, and risk management at the program level
- Lead coordination between contractors, designers, and public stakeholders
