• Find and secure the right location, lead the design and construction of all utilities and infrastructure, and obtain every permit needed to build and operate.
• Act as the owner's representative toward brokers, landlords, utilities, authorities, designers and contractors, with single-point accountability for delivering the site on time, on budget and fit for the production process.
• Define the utility concept for the cell line together with process engineering and equipment suppliers.

• Enforce Cal/OSHA safety, quality and schedule requirements, and run change control and claims management.
• Lead commissioning and handover, including as-built documentation and operator training.

• Build constructive relationships with planning departments, fire marshals, air districts, water boards and utilities.

• Coordinate with production, engineering, EHS, procurement, finance, legal and HR.
• Manage consultant and contractor contracts and keep documentation audit-ready.

• Experience managing capex budgets above $50M with multiple contractors and consultants.
