- Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, and municipal inspectors for permits and approvals.
- Maintain detailed project documentation, including photos, daily logs, change orders, and punch lists.
- Conduct site visits and pre-installation meetings to verify conditions and plan logistics.
- Enforce company safety standards and best practices on every job site.

- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and budgets.
- Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills.
