Ensure successful execution from preconstruction and mobilization through closeout
Manage relationships with federal clients, contracting officers, design partners, subcontractors and other stakeholders

Design-build experience strongly preferred
Strong understanding of project controls, scheduling, budgeting, cost management, subcontractor management and risk
