Project Planning: Developing comprehensive project plans outlining the scope, schedule, budget, and resources required for successful completion.

 

Contract Administration: Administering contracts, managing subcontractors, and resolving disputes to maintain positive relationships and ensure contractual obligations are fulfilled.
