• Documentation: Maintain organized project records, including contracts, permits, RFIs, submittals, inspection reports, and progress report.
• Stakeholder Communication: Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, property owners, and other project stakeholders as needed.
• Inspections and Closeout: Coordinate inspections with the field team, track outstanding requirements, manage punch lists, and organize closeout documentation.
• Issue Escalation: Proactively identify construction conflicts, missing information, schedule risks, and decisions requiring management approval.
