  • Construction Leadership & Owner Representation
    Serve as the senior owner representative for complex projects, providing oversight to ensure construction aligns with approved plans, specifications, and regulations.
  • Project Delivery & Performance Oversight
    Monitor contractor performance, construction progress, and project milestones to keep projects on schedule, within budget, and compliant with agency standards.
  • Stakeholder Coordination & Issue Resolution
    Collaborate with public agency clients, designers, contractors, and regulatory stakeholders to resolve construction challenges and maintain project momentum.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship
    Provide guidance and mentorship to resident engineers, inspectors, and CM staff to build a strong, high-performing transportation CM team.

  • 15+ years of experience leading complex transportation infrastructure projects
  • Active California Professional Engineer (PE) License
  • Strong understanding of Caltrans and local agency construction standards
