Description

Position Summary

You will lead pre-construction strategy, constructability, construction methodology, delivery planning and handover for complex civil and infrastructure opportunities.

· Engage owners, designers, subcontractors, suppliers and joint-venture partners to resolve delivery issues.

· Lead pre-construction-to-delivery handover, including assumptions, commitments, risk register and baseline plans.
