• Ensure compliance with contract requirements, specifications, and safety standards
  
• Lead project meetings, reporting, and communication with stakeholders
  
• Support change management, claims, and project documentation
  
• Collaborate with estimating and operations teams on project execution strategies
  
• Ensure strong health & safety performance across all site activities
  
• Contribute to continuous improvement of project delivery processes
