• Ensure projects meet quality standards, applicable building codes, and engineering best practices
• Maintain and manage project documentation, meeting minutes, specifications, schedules, and project records
• Facilitate communication between internal teams, consultants, and ownership groups to maintain alignment throughout project execution
• Identify opportunities for operational improvements, efficiency gains, and enhanced project delivery processes
