Project & Client Delivery

  • Oversee a portfolio of projects, ensuring alignment to scope, budget, quality, and schedule milestones.
  • Foster client and partner relationships from pursuit through closeout, serving as a trusted representative of RCC.
  • Optimize team resourcing and ensure project teams are aligned to client expectations and project complexity.
  • Resolve conflicts or disputes efficiently with subcontractors, suppliers, design partners, and internal stakeholders.
  • People Leadership & Team Development

  • Create a culture of collaboration, trust, and accountability within the Operations team.
  • Mentor and develop Project Engineers, Project Managers, and Senior Project Managers, providing clear performance expectations and growth opportunities.
  • Design and implement formal training and onboarding programs to ensure technical and leadership readiness.
  • Empower project teams through effective delegation while supporting their development and decision-making autonomy.
  • Build leadership pipelines and succession plans to grow future talent from within.
  • Communication, Reporting & Decision Making

  • Clearly articulate goals, expectations, and outcomes across all levels of the project and operations team.
  • Provide executive-level reporting on key project and departmental metrics, challenges, and successes.
  • Make timely, informed decisions based on data, experience, and RCC’s core values—especially under pressure.
  • Anticipate and address project and team dynamics by adjusting leadership strategies as needed.
  • Excellence in Safety, Quality & Compliance

  • Champion a safety-first culture and ensure all project teams follow safety guidelines and protocols.
  • Uphold the highest quality standards across all workstreams—self-perform, subcontractors, and partners.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., EEO, DOL, OSHA) and proactively address gaps or issues as they arise.
  • Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Identify inefficiencies and lead initiatives to streamline the project management lifecycle.
  • Research and implement technologies that enhance productivity, collaboration, and data visibility.
  • Encourage innovation within teams to support RCC’s Strategic Objectives and long-term growth.
