• Coach and develop project executives, project managers, and the General Superintendent
• Improve collaboration and accountability between office and field teams
• Strengthen project forecasting, change management, contract administration, procurement, and closeout
• Support the General Superintendent with field staffing, succession planning, performance management, and superintendent development
• Build scalable operating practices that support continued growth without creating unnecessary bureaucracy
