  • Manage landlord communications related to easements, right of way, and utility access
  • Align with Asset Management, Real Estate, and Development teams on feasibility and timelines
Site Development and Execution Support
  • Support site selection and planning through infrastructure feasibility assessments
  • Identify opportunities to optimize utility routing and shared infrastructure
  • Track utility timelines and dependencies to support project delivery
  • Ensure dry utility considerations are incorporated into development and construction plans

Preferred Background
