Technical Skills: Ability to review and interpret technical specifications and project agreements. Experience coordinating across cross-functional internal teams and engaging with external stakeholders in technically and commercially sensitive environments. Knowledge of applicable engineering disciplines including electrical, structural, civil, and materials is required.
