- Experience navigating complex stakeholder environments (coaches, athletic directors, boosters/donors, facility operations, governing bodies).
- Strong coordination skills on technically complex projects with multiple systems (structural, MEP, lighting, acoustics, AV/scoreboards/ribbon boards).
- Comfort leading projects with fast-track schedules, phased construction, or active-campus/active-venue constraints.
