• Customer Liaison: Serve as the single POC on site for the customer, supporting by answering questions, providing information, directing updates where needed and managing our relationship directly with end users and key stakeholders.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Liaise with third-party vendors, internal teams, and client stakeholders to facilitate smooth transitions.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure regulatory compliance (OSHA, FDA, GMP) is maintained throughout the move.
