submittals, ensuring approvals are obtained before schedule is impacted.  
• Identify conflicts, constructability concerns, and upcoming constraints before they affect the work. 
• Maintain jobsite safety and enforce company policies and OSHA requirements. 
• Perform regular quality-control inspections and verify work complies with plans, specifications, codes, and company 
standards. 
• Coordinate required inspections with building officials and other authorities having legal control. 
• Track subcontractor progress and communicate schedule, quality, or performance concerns promptly.
