• Interpret mechanical drawings and specifications to drive constructability and execution clarity
• Review takeoffs and pricing for change orders and scope adjustments
• Mentor and develop project managers, assistant PMs, and project engineers
• Take on expanded project scope or leadership responsibilities as workload and performance grow
