The Opportunity

As Program Director, you will provide executive leadership for the planning, coordination, and delivery of major Mechanical, Electrical and Plant Infrastructure initiatives supporting terminal redevelopment.

  • Lead program governance, risk management, scheduling, commercial oversight and quality management.
  • Coordinate multiple consultants, contractors, specialty disciplines and project partners across a large, integrated program.
  • Drive collaboration between designers, constructors and client teams to achieve successful project outcomes.
  • Provide leadership throughout procurement, design development, construction and commissioning activities.
  • Champion safety, quality, innovation and operational excellence across the program.
  • Mentor and develop project leadership teams while fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.
