  • Hold other teams accountable and make solid assessments when escalations are needed.
  • May be assigned other projects as needed.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Proficiency in project management tools and software for task tracking, scheduling, and reporting. (e.g. MS Project, KeyedIn).
  • Experience managing IT projects for new facility construction projects (greenfield/brownfield) is a strong plus.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS/ WORKING CONDITIONS:

  • Extended periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
  • Regular use of a keyboard and mouse for typing and navigating software.
