  • Perform rigorous technical reviews of construction documents, engineering studies, and A/E services designs to ensure constructability and compliance. 
  • Conduct active QA of all contracted work in the field. Operate seamlessly within the facility to evaluate site conditions, track progress, and ensure adherence to specifications. 
  • Manage Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and coordinate seamlessly with contractors, consultants, building tenants, and government officials to facilitate smooth project delivery. 
  • Assist the Markon contract manager in the day-to-day supervision, guidance, and mentorship of 2–3 junior project managers.
