This is an opportunity for a hands-on, solutions-oriented construction professional who thrives in fast-paced field and office environments. You’ll conduct site inspections, review RFIs, submittals, change orders, and contractor invoices, and work closely with QA field inspectors and materials testing teams to ensure quality, compliance, and contract conformance. If you are dependable, proactive, and energized by solving problems in real time, this role offers the chance to make a visible impact on transportation infrastructure projects that connect communities.

  • Project Risk and Issue Management: Identify and evaluate risks, issues, dependencies, and constraints associated with the project, escalating matters where appropriate. Where necessary, develop, agree on, and implement solutions to overcome these concerns.
  • Project Scope Definition: Manage the delivery of research, workshops, and other activities to support the specification and agreement of project deliverables.
  • Regulatory and Compliance Management: Investigate standard incidents using current regulatory and compliance processes, systems, and procedures, and take action to solve immediate compliance issues. Advise more senior colleagues on more complex problems.
  • Requirements Management: Identify, elicit, and document project/process requirements, using appropriate modeling technique, if required.
