• Chair project meetings and provide clear updates regarding schedules, costs, procurement and outstanding decisions.

• Work closely with Site Superintendents to maintain project quality, safety, productivity and schedule performance.

• Manage RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, change documentation and consultant reviews.

• Ensure projects comply with contractual requirements, applicable building codes and company standards.

• Lead deficiency management, commissioning, closeout documentation and final owner handover.
