• Financial Management: Drive profitability by managing project budgets, approving major equipment and material procurement (switchgear, transformers, etc.), forecasting cash flow, and rigorously negotiating change orders.
• Field Liaison & Support: Work with the Field Operations Manager and on-site General Superintendents to ensure clear project plans are cleanly executed, tracking daily trade productivity and site logistics.
• Client & Partner Relations: Serve as the primary, highly responsive communication bridge between PureGrid and major general contractors like ARCO/Murray, ensuring alignment across fast-track nationwide portfolios.

• Software Proficiency: Expert-level capability with modern construction management software; extensive hands-on experience with Procore and Bluebeam is required.
• Leadership & Communication: Exceptionally strong written, verbal, and negotiation skills, with a pragmatic, hands-on approach to problem-solving and a knack for building trust with sophisticated GC partners.
