  • Identify and address process and administrative bottlenecks (e.g., missing permits, incomplete work orders, missing engineering packages) by partnering with responsible teams to drive timely resolution.
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready records of project documentation, including permits, engineering drawings, work prints, redlines, and closeout packages, in alignment with ISP standards and regulatory requirements.
