Participate throughout the project lifecycle, including supporting construction efforts related to building delivery, utility infrastructure, power systems, and other critical site components.
Drive planning efforts for required infrastructure improvements and coordinate internal and external design and development partners to ensure successful delivery of Real Estate Site Selection, Acquisition, and Development objectives.
Foster productive relationships with local government agencies and lead entitlement and approval processes through successful completion.
