Coordination & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Coordinate across multiple contractors, scheduling teams, and disciplines to ensure building-level schedules integrate with program milestones.
  • Track OFCI equipment deliveries and highlight risk areas, securing superintendent and subcontractor alignment on recovery strategies.
