Organization and Verification You will organize documentation in our platform by system, room, manufacturer, and drawing number, verifying that submitted documentation matches contract requirements and installed equipment. Quality Assurance You will audit documentation packages for completeness and accuracy before delivery, validating that manual data matches equipment serial numbers, panel schedules reflect as‑built conditions, and all warranties are documented with proper dates and coverage periods. Client Coordination and Delivery You will work directly with project managers, engineers, and subcontractors, provide status updates, participate in closeout coordination meetings, and train building owners and facility managers on our platform at project delivery. Project Management You will manage multiple projects simultaneously at different stages, tracking progress against milestone schedules and flagging issues before they become problems. Business Operations – P&L Ownership You will own the P&L for this business, accounting for revenue, margin, and operational expenses, and reporting regularly to company leadership on results, pipeline, and operational health. Client Relationships and Business Development You will manage senior‑level client relationships from scoping through delivery and account growth, review and contribute to proposals, and help bring in new project work across all types and sizes. Operations and Standards You will set and maintain delivery standards across all active projects, build and document scalable processes, and hire and develop the team as the business grows.
