  • Promote and enforce industry-leading safety practices throughout all phases of construction.


Qualifications Required:

  • Expertise in electrical and mechanical systems, as well as regulatory and safety standards.
  • Proficiency in project management tools such as Primavera, MS Project, and Excel.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with Lean Construction principles and sustainable building certifications (e.g., LEED) is a plus.
