• Clearly communicate project expectations, timelines, construction details, and scheduling updates.
• Address customer questions and concerns professionally and promptly.
• Conduct final walkthroughs, coordinate punch-list corrections, and ensure successful project completion.

• Maintain accurate documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure completed projects meet company workmanship and quality standards.
• Coordinate final completion paperwork, warranty information, and collection activities with the Production Coordinator.
• Take ownership of project performance, customer satisfaction, and timely completion.

• Strong working knowledge of deck framing, structural components, footings, beams, joists, decking, and railing systems.
• Ability to read, interpret, and develop construction drawings and material lists.
