    mitigating actions.

    governing bodies, ensuring technology, operations, and construction are up to code.
    Identify weak points across systems and processes, then propose and execute
    corrective actions.
    Work closely with architectural and engineering teams on needed designs and features,
    delivering actionable requirements as the site scales.
    Strategically stay ahead of an evolving and scaling site with appropriate operational and
    technological changes.
    Make determinations on the best internal and outsourced approach for technical and
    construction work.
