You will provide expert interdisciplinary oversight to manage risks, resolve engineering conflicts, and ensure compliance with the City’s High Floor LRT Design Guidelines.

Working collaboratively with business partners, consultants, and advisors, you will oversee program managers, lead alignment workshops, and support procurement and contract management.
