  • Serve as a critical support to avoid bottlenecks and resolve conflicts in manpower, material delays, or scope clarifications.
  • Identify future hiring needs and lead the development of team capacity to meet the demands of backlog growth and market opportunity.
  • Support the onboarding and mentorship of key staff, including developing future leaders (e.g., Project Executives, Senior PMs).
  • Promote accountability, clear communication, and teamwork across departments to reduce stress, prevent finger-pointing, and build a high-performance culture.
  • Assist with the planning and execution of the move to the new building and associated operational transitions.
