- Coordinate, supervise, and escort third-party contractors when specialized repairs or capital projects are required.
- Ensure vendor work meets safety codes, timelines, budgets, and venue standards.
- Enforce adherence to local building codes, OSHA standards, environmental regulations, and life-safety guidelines across all workshop and physical plant spaces.
- Partner cross-functionally with operations, conversions, and event-services teams to prepare the physical venue for touring concert load-ins, sporting events, and multi-day convention programs.
