  • Lead connectivity infrastructure projects from planning through execution and project closeout.
  • Coordinate activities between construction teams, engineering groups, vendors, contractors, logistics teams, and stakeholders.
  • Monitor project progress and proactively communicate status, risks, and mitigation plans.
  • Support forecasting, budgeting, and project controls efforts.
  • Establish contractor milestones and hold installation partners accountable to schedule and quality expectations.
  • Manage project risks, escalations, issue resolution, and change orders.
  • Conduct field inspections and validate installation quality, workmanship, code compliance, and build accuracy.
  • Review structured cabling installations and connectivity infrastructure deployments.
  • Participate in design reviews, bill of materials (BOM) reviews, constructability reviews, and as-built documentation validation.
  • Identify and resolve scope gaps, design conflicts, and field execution challenges.
  • Build strong working relationships with contractors, vendors, project teams, and stakeholders.
  • Support a safety-first culture while ensuring compliance with all site safety requirements and industry best practices., Scheduling Engineer Turner Construction Co.
