Support the PMO and Design Work Package (WP) team as required, providing ground-truth site data and operational insights that inform DI Network release planning and design decisions.

Manage competing priorities across multiple concurrent site surveys, maintaining schedule discipline and quality standards within an agile delivery environment operating on quarterly release cycles.

Ensure team readiness and compliance with all security, travel, and operational protocols across Unclassified, Secret, and TS/SCI security enclaves.
