  • Experience negotiating change orders, delay claims, and complex construction disputes.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to coordinate across multiple departments.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.

  • Ability to lead, influence, and enforce corporate policies and procedures.
