• Track progress against schedule and identify delays, risks, and corrective actions.
• Manage project CAPEX budgets, contingencies, commitments, expenditures, forecasts, and cost-to-complete.
• Review EPC and vendor invoices, milestone payments, change orders, and other project costs.
• Manage project scope and change management throughout the project lifecycle.

• Coordinate engineering activities, design reviews, technical decisions, RFIs, submittals, and open items.
• Support procurement and track long-lead equipment, manufacturing schedules, logistics, and delivery dates.
• Coordinate activities among EPC contractors, OEMs, engineering partners, utilities, customers, consultants, and other project stakeholders.
• Monitor construction progress against schedule, budget, scope, quality requirements, and contractual obligations.
• Support utility interconnection, permitting, inspections, testing, energization, and commissioning.

• Serve as a primary point of coordination among MG3, customers, contractors, utilities, vendors, consultants, and other stakeholders.
• Lead recurring project coordination meetings and maintain clear ownership of actions, decisions, deliverables, and deadlines.
