- Identify and mitigate risks across the project lifecycle while maintaining accurate bi-weekly progress updates.
- Develop and manage project budgets, forecasts, and labor allocations, ensuring alignment with contractual scope.
- Contribute to strategic planning, business development, and identifying organic growth opportunities.
