• Manage contract strategy and administration for open CM (CCDC 5A / 5B) and converted CM (CCDC 2) models; execute CM conversions through risk identification and tender recap.
• Develop construction sequencing, site logistics, and methodology to optimize safety, productivity and schedule.
• Drive forecasting and financial reporting -   maintain accurate forecasts, manage change orders, and protect margin.
