• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to manage contractors and lead junior engineers in a high-pressure site environment.

• Strategic Thinking: Ability to interpret complex blueprints and foresee logistical challenges before they impact the construction timeline.

• Communication: Strong negotiation and conflict-resolution skills to manage on-site stakeholder relationships.
