Support will include project leadership utilizing the Kymanox PM Toolkit and integrating the support of multiple engineers and experienced SMEs.

- Manage project schedules and ensure resources are assigned and aware of key milestones that need to be met.
- Rapidly establish relationships with key client personnel by being on-site as much as possible. Manage on-site time to levels required by the project and as directed by client.
- Maintain flexible work schedule to ensure activities are completed on time, which could necessitate working outside of normal business hours at times.
