Coordinate with Operations Managers, Superintendents, and Foremen to schedule, plan, and execute projects; leverage administrative resources as appropriate to support scheduling and coordination.
As requested, visit job sites as needed to engage with customers and contractors; support execution‑phase change management, scope adjustments, and value‑added solutions.
Monitor job performance and progress; investigate and address variances exceeding established thresholds through root‑cause analysis and corrective actions.
Maintain professional communication with customers, inspectors, internal teams, and other stakeholders from project award through closeout.
Proactively supports the estimating and operations teams with a variety of administrative support tasks.
