*Partnering closely with clients to align pipeline execution strategies with business objectives, permitting constraints, and stakeholder expectations
*Collaborating with regional and location leadership on matters that materially influence project performance and business results
*Developing and implementing strategic construction programs, policies, and improvement initiatives specific to large-scale pipeline delivery
*Driving continuous improvement in construction systems, processes, and tools, including those required for extreme climate execution
