Manage project schedule at the field level; identify and communicate schedule risks to the Project Manager with recommended corrective actions. Coordinate delivery, staging, and storage of materials in compliance with SAVAHCS facility access, ICRA barrier, and VA infection control requirements. Review and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and submittals; communicate scope, sequencing, and technical requirements clearly to subcontractors and tradespeople. Conduct and document daily site observations; complete and upload Daily Reports, photographs, and field logs using Procore and/or other Government‑required construction management systems. Attend and participate in construction coordination meetings, partnering sessions, and progress reviews with the Government COR, Project Manager, SSHO, and QCM. Coordinate with the VA Facility Manager, VA Engineering, and COR regarding access scheduling, phasing requirements, and occupant protection during active operations in a functioning medical facility. Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work site consistent with SAVAHCS facility standards, ICRA Class IV requirements, and applicable VA regulations.
