• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site
• Enforce company safety procedures and address potential hazards
• Communicate job progress, delays, material needs, and field issues to project leadership
• Help train and develop less-experienced members of the crew
• Represent Kreider & Diller professionally with customers, subcontractors, inspectors, and other project partners
