- Manage contract administration including variations, claims, progress claims, and change control.
- Act as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants, utilities, and municipal stakeholders.
- Drive site safety performance and ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental requirements.
- Support tendering, estimating, and project handover to operations where required.

- Strong communication skills and credibility with technical, commercial, and client facing audiences.
