Spotting possible problem areas and helping negotiate modifications or adaptations to heavy vehicle routes where needed
Helping determine bridge and road maintenance procedures and work instructions, and managing maintenance tasks

Managing projects or elements of projects under supervision
Following all quality management procedures and keeping good communication with internal and external stakeholders
