  • Ensure complete and accurate project documentation and manage close‑out procedures.
  • Conduct punch‑list inspections with the superintendent and owner’s representatives, ensuring timely completion.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships to support repeat Data Center and commercial opportunities.

  • Strong skills in change order management, budgeting, and mechanical system coordination.
  • Ability to lead highly technical, cross‑disciplinary meetings.
  • Demonstrated track record of stability and successful project delivery.
