• Lead end-to-end delivery of high-rise building projects from concept through handover, ensuring scope, schedule, cost, and quality objectives are met.
• Take full ownership of project planning and execution, including defining execution strategy and milestones, developing detailed project schedules and resource plans, and establishing procurement and contract strategies.
• Manage multidisciplinary project teams (design, engineering, contracts, QS, construction, MEP, façade, safety, QA/QC), ensuring clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability.
• Oversee design coordination, including reviewing architectural, structural, MEP, façade, and interior design, leading design review meetings, resolving technical conflicts, and ensuring constructability, code compliance, and alignment with client expectations.

• Implement robust risk management by identifying project risks related to high-rise construction, logistics, safety, and interfaces, preparing and maintaining risk registers and mitigation plans, and proactively resolving issues to avoid schedule and cost impacts.
• Act as the primary point of contact with client/owner representatives, consultants, authorities, key external stakeholders, internal leadership, and executive management.
• Prepare and present executive-level progress reports, dashboards, and performance indicators, recovery plans where needed, and lessons-learned and close-out documentation.
