• Communicate job assignments, scope changes, customer expectations, and special conditions to crews before work begins.  

• Address customer questions and installation concerns professionally; escalate significant issues when appropriate and ensure timely follow-up. 

• Track installation performance, including completed jobs, on-time performance, callback and rework rates, quality-control results, crew productivity, and customer satisfaction trends.  

• Use company systems to maintain accurate job notes, photos, inspection records, punch lists, material requests, and job-completion status.

• Proficiency using smartphones, tablets, job-management software, email, and digital photo documentation.  

• Ability to read work orders, measurements, installation instructions, job-site diagrams, and scope-of-work documents. 

• Working knowledge of installation best practices, manufacturer specifications, and local building codes and permitting.
