• Collaborate with remote cross-functional teams (design, procurement, QA) to streamline workflows and remove bottlenecks.
• Conduct site assessments virtually and manage contractor/vendor performance using digital tools.
• Develop detailed project documentation, including technical reports, RFIs, and change orders.
• Mentor junior project engineers, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
• Implement robust risk management strategies to mitigate delays and cost overruns.

Requirements
