• Drive contractor accountability, productivity, safety performance, and schedule adherence.
• Identify constructability challenges and develop practical field solutions.
• Monitor scope changes, field impacts, and potential cost exposures.
• Document daily construction activities, observations, and progress reports.
• Support RFI management, submittals, change documentation, and project controls.
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers, engineers, safety professionals, and client stakeholders.
• Utilize construction management software platforms to manage project documentation and reporting.
• Travel to project locations throughout California and the Western United States as business needs require.
