• Collaborate with engineers, architects, designers, contractors, and Operations to refine project scopes before construction begins.
• Communication
• Serve as the central point of communication for assigned projects.
• Coordinate with Operations, Facilities, Finance, contractors, vendors, maintenance leaders, and regional leadership to ensure everyone stays aligned from planning through project completion.
• Administrative & Technology Support
• Cook up purchasing and material ordering.
