- Coordinate permitting and inspections with the in-house design team and authorities having jurisdiction - keeping approvals off the critical path
- Execute the facility layout in partnership with manufacturing engineering to support material flow, line balance, and future expansion
- Own the construction schedule - track critical path, manage milestones, and hold the GC and vendors accountable to the plan
- Own the project budget - track costs, review the GC's buyout and change orders, and identify savings without compromising schedule or safety
- Hold the GC accountable for site safety and code compliance - OSHA, NFPA, EPA, fire marshal, and local inspections
