Provide senior engineering support during construction, including field reviews, responding to RFIs, and resolving complex technical issues.
Coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (civil/structural, protection & control, telecom, etc.) to ensure integrated designs.
Ensure projects are delivered within scope, schedule, and budget while maintaining high-quality standards.
