• Apply a strong understanding of apartments, condos, townhomes, and land development to guide project decisions.
• Manage all on-site relationships with subcontractors, vendors, clients, and customers in a professional manner.
• Run the entire project independently rather than relying on multiple superintendents to manage separate portions of the same project.
• Utilize construction management and estimating tools, such as Procore, Bluebeam, ConstructConnect, and SmartBid, to support project planning and execution.
• Monitor project progress, identify potential delays or issues, and implement corrective actions to keep the project on schedule.
• Support estimating activities as needed to help develop budgets and bids for current and future projects.
