- Identify all people or organizations impacted by the project, analyzing stakeholder expectations and impact on the project, and developing appropriate management strategies for effectively engaging stakeholders in project decisions and execution.

- Ensure projects abide by all environmental safety awareness and compliance.

- Ensure the well-being of yourself and others, as well as those potentially impacted by the daily tasks of this role, by personally taking responsibility for safety measures at job sites.
