Key criteria evaluated during the search included:

• Demonstrated foreman-level leadership on boring and underground utility crews
• Familiarity with safety protocols and site coordination in similar regional environments
• Ability to integrate quickly with an established field team
• Track record of maintaining production schedules under pressure
