Project Managers develop and monitor job progress schedules to keep construction on the contract schedule, review shop drawings and submittals for compliance, issue and manage required vendor and trade subcontracts, and review subcontractor payment requests. They procure and monitor delivery of all needed materials to ensure optimum prices, quality, and conformance to the contract documents. They anticipate safety hazards, lead safety incident review meetings, participate in field safety audits, and maintain safety documentation. They anticipate project owner or client questions and navigate difficult conversations regarding costs, quality, or schedules. They prepare various reports such as monthly status updates, budget forecasts, risk logs, analysis, schedules, billings, and status reports to stakeholders and management. They manage at least one team member, responsible for hiring, development, performance management, and engagement, and assist in other duties as assigned to achieve the position’s and team’s objectives.
