Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, no. You will act as the client representative, managing 'implementing agents' (like Public Works) and external contractors. Your role is oversight, contract management, and ensuring the department's infrastructure needs are met on time and within budget.
At the Deputy Director level, you may be asked to analyze a project's expenditure against its budget, draft a high-level maintenance schedule, or resolve a contractual dispute simulation between the department and an implementing agent.
