Job Summary

The Project Lead is responsible for the operational execution of awarded Service & Maintenance projects. This role serves as the primary owner of projects post-award, coordinating scheduling, documentation, operational handoff, and financial tracking to ensure work is executed efficiently, consistently, and in alignment with expectations.

The Project Lead operates in a process-driven environment, utilizing standard operating procedures, checklists, and established systems to support repeatable execution across stormwater maintenance, hydro-excavation support, emergency and reactive work, retrofits, municipal infrastructure, and specialized space and aerospace-related projects.
