Deep knowledge of contracting strategies, techniques, and federal/DoD project requirements

Experience leading teams and managing performance in design-build environments

A leader who naturally lives our values: putting safety first, acting with unwavering ethics, driving innovation, investing in people, excelling through teamwork, and bringing discipline to everything you do
