• Financial & Scope Governance: Manage project budgets, monitor labor and material expenditures, control billing milestones, and actively protect project profit margins through proactive change order and risk management.

• Technical Quality & Compliance: Interpret and validate complex architectural, electrical, civil, and security design packages; oversee accurate as-built/red-line documentation and technical programming workflows.

• Risk Mitigation & Issue Resolution: Proactively identify project bottlenecks, manage Requests for Information (RFIs), resolve site conflicts quickly, and implement contingency plans to eliminate schedule slippage.

• Pre-Sales & Estimating Support: Partner with Sales and System Engineering to review scopes of work (SOWs), evaluate technical feasibility, and assist in proposal development as needed.

• Field Verification & Site Audits: Travel to client sites to lead project kick-offs, conduct comprehensive quality assurance audits, and execute formal commissioning and closeout.
