• Review plans and specifications to coordinate design intent and construction means/methods; flag discrepancies and drive resolution.
• Perform regular site visits to discuss activities, progress, and issues with superintendents and trade partners; document observations.
• Coordinate startup and commissioning touchpoints with the client and contractor; communicate issues and track to closure.
• Attend owner/contractor meetings; provide updates, capture action items, and follow through on deliverables.
• Meet with state, city, and county officials for construction review and code adherence as necessary.
• Help resolve conflicts with suppliers and contractors; escalate unusual conditions to the design team and owners' reps and facilitate solutions.
• Review contractor and supplier pay applications for accuracy and conformance with progress and contract terms.
• Ensure applicable quality procedures are executed timely on assigned projects; promote lessons learned and continuous improvement.
