  • Proactively identify, track, escalate, and resolve project risks, issues, decisions, and dependencies to maintain project momentum.
  • Manage project scope changes, assess schedule and budget impacts, and coordinate approvals through established change control processes.
  • Coordinate installation testing, system integration, acceptance testing, and operational readiness with engineering and operations teams.
  • Prepare and deliver project status reports, executive presentations, financial updates, and milestone reporting.
  • Ensure project activities comply with applicable safety, site access, regulatory, and operational requirements.
  • Manage multiple concurrent infrastructure projects while maintaining alignment with broader business and program priorities.
