- Lead owner, architect, consultant, and subcontractor meetings
- Review drawings, specifications, contracts, and scopes of work
- Manage procurement and long-lead material tracking
- Identify cost, schedule, and coordination risks and implement solutions before they impact project performance
- Maintain strong communication with owners, developers, consultants, and field leadership
- Support value engineering, constructability reviews, and preconstruction planning
- Oversee punch lists, turnover documentation, warranties, and final closeout

- Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings
- Strong communication, negotiation, organization, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work closely with field leadership while managing the administrative and financial side of construction
