- Serve as a primary point of contact for general contractors, customers, and project stakeholders.
- Coordinate with field teams regarding manpower, sequencing, site logistics, and project requirements.
- Manage documentation associated with inspections, testing, and compliance requirements.
- Coordinate project-specific submittals, testing, and special inspection requirements where applicable.
- Maintain organized project documentation using tools such as Bluebeam.
