  • Build leadership pipelines and succession plans to grow future talent from within.
  • Communication, Reporting & Decision Making

  • Clearly articulate goals, expectations, and outcomes across all levels of the project and operations team.
  • Provide executive-level reporting on key project and departmental metrics, challenges, and successes.
  • Make timely, informed decisions based on data, experience, and RCC’s core values—especially under pressure.
  • Anticipate and address project and team dynamics by adjusting leadership strategies as needed.
  • Excellence in Safety, Quality & Compliance

  • Champion a safety-first culture and ensure all project teams follow safety guidelines and protocols.
  • Uphold the highest quality standards across all workstreams—self-perform, subcontractors, and partners.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., EEO, DOL, OSHA) and proactively address gaps or issues as they arise.
  • Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Identify inefficiencies and lead initiatives to streamline the project management lifecycle.
  • Research and implement technologies that enhance productivity, collaboration, and data visibility.
  • Encourage innovation within teams to support RCC’s Strategic Objectives and long-term growth.
