  • Compare labor and material options to recommend practical, cost-conscious approaches that support project goals.
  • Support procurement and trade partner selection by analyzing quotations for completeness, competitiveness, and alignment with project needs.
  • Manage awarded work from turnover to completion by coordinating schedules, staffing plans, and execution strategies with field leadership.
  • Track project performance by monitoring costs, addressing scope changes, assisting with change documentation, and supporting progress invoicing.
  • Provide timely updates to customers and internal teams while helping resolve drawing discrepancies, site challenges, and closeout requirements.
