• Support design reviews, field assessments, installation readiness reviews, construction oversight, system integration, verification, and customer acceptance activities.
• Manage technical risks, schedule dependencies, configuration changes, and requirements traceability related to site infrastructure and communication-system deployment.
• Communicate technical status, decisions, and risks clearly to internal leadership, customers, and external partners.
• Execute core Construction Phase Services by efficiently administering the submittal review pipeline, clarifying design via RFIs, and verifying structural quality through special inspection reports.
• Review contractor deliverables, coordinate special inspections, and verify that civil infrastructure designs meet stringent federal and military facility criteria.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Civil engineering experience supporting site development, construction, facilities, utilities, or communications infrastructure.
• Experience with military installation projects, Department of Defense construction or facilities processes, or other regulated-site environments.
• Working knowledge of RF communication systems, antenna sites, shelters, towers, equipment pads, grounding, or related communications infrastructure; willingness to develop deeper RF-system expertise.
• Ability to interpret and coordinate civil, structural, electrical, and communications design drawings and specifications.
• Experience with requirements management, risk management, technical project planning, subcontractor coordination, and configuration control.
• Thorough understanding of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), ensuring all submittals, RFIs, and construction workflows strictly comply with Department of Defense (DoD) building regulations and military engineering standards.
• Strong written, verbal, and formal presentation skills; able to work effectively in integrated product teams and with customers.
