Lead project meetings, communicate decisions, assign follow-up actions, and ensure outstanding issues are resolved promptly.
Partner with field leadership to monitor construction progress, workmanship, safety practices, and adherence to project schedules.
Anticipate risks involving cost, scheduling, scope, and materials, then implement corrective measures to minimize disruption.
