• Civil Plan & Spec Interpretation: Read, navigate, and build directly from complex civil engineering drawings, grading plans, paving grids, and municipal spec books across active jobsites.
• Safety & Traffic Control Oversight: Conduct mandatory daily safety briefings (toolbox talks) and enforce strict OSHA and Caltrans traffic control compliance—including mobile lane closures and certified flagging operations.
• Daily Administrative Quantity Tracking: Track and submit daily field logs—including hot mix tonnage tickets, labor hours, equipment utilization rates, and completed yield metrics for accurate billing and job costing.
• Seal Coating & Striping Management: Oversee specialized slurry seal, seal coating, and thermoplastic pavement striping operations to deliver pristine finished projects.
