• Experience implementing and maintaining Health, Safety, and Environmental systems within areas of responsibility
• Ability to effectively run projects in the absence of a Senior Project Manager or Director
• Experience managing project close-out processes, including financial close-out and contractual documentation such as as-builts, deeds of release, and client training

Preferred qualifications:

• Current AGSVA security clearance, or the demonstrated ability to obtain one
• Strong attention to detail with a track record of delivering final products that positively represent organizational standards
• Experience developing and maintaining Safety and Environmental Plans with active compliance oversight
