Ability to build and manage a complete project plan with connected tasks, deadlines, resource needs, risks, and financial tracking.
Strong communication, meeting leadership, negotiation, and decision-support skills with senior leaders.
Ability to travel extensively and spend sustained periods at the assigned project location during critical phases.
