You'll be involved in managing key packages — equipment, materials, or subcontracts — working closely with engineering, construction, and other teams to make sure everything comes together: cost, quality, and schedule.
We're looking for someone who brings strong judgment, negotiation skills, and a continuous improvement mindset;
someone who wants to godeeper, develop expertise in specific scopes, and create real value in every project.
