Stakeholder Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for clients, local authorities, and inspectors, ensuring all permits and compliance documents are in order.

Experience: Minimum 7–10 years in heavy civil construction, with at least 5 years specifically in high-volume asphalt or concrete paving.

Leadership: Proven track record of managing large crews and high-value ($2M+) projects.
