• Ensure compliance with local building codes, safety regulations, and company policies.
• Maintain regular communication with clients and stakeholders to provide updates and resolve issues.
• Ensure proper project documentation, including schedules, progress reports, and close-out packages.
• Visit jobsites regularly, inspect work for compliance, update field with current documents, and monitor safety. Manage manpower, materials, and schedules to meet objectives. Submit RFIs and change orders as needed. Ensure proper billing, equipment startup, and client training. Close out projects efficiently, completing punch lists and delivering manuals/warranties.

REQUIREMENTS

• Proven ability to lead construction projects, including verifying current drawings and specifications, reviewing contracts, and managing project scope.
• Time management skills to prepare and monitor project schedules, manpower needs, and material/equipment delivery.
• Strong communication and customer service skills to attend client meetings, represent the company’s best interests, and coordinate with other trades.
• Ability to professionally resolve customer and/or team member complaints/issues, including managing RFIs and change orders.
• Abide by all company, industry, and customer safety guidelines, including performing safety inspections and incident reporting.
• Work effectively in a team environment, coordinating with field leadership, subcontractors, and vendors.
