Evaluate subcontractor performance, track production, and ensure work aligns with scope, schedule, and quality expectations
Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project documentation
Collaborate closely with Superintendents, engineers, clients, and inspectors to maintain clear communication and alignment
Monitor project costs, quantities, and reporting to ensure accurate forecasting and budget performance
Support project safety by reinforcing compliance and addressing site concerns proactively
Assist with project closeout, punchlists, and turnover documentation
Requirements:

Comfortable spending significant time onsite supporting field operations
