Ensure projects meet all permitting, environmental, and safety standards in accordance with local and federal regulations
-
Identify, assess, and proactively mitigate project risks related to schedule, cost, technical performance, and regulatory compliance
-
Serve as a reliable point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, including government agencies, utilities, contractors, and community representatives
-
