Negotiate contracts and lock in final scopes.
Be the go-to person for clients, general contractors, and your project team.
Mentor and oversee 1-2 junior PMs - guide, support, and mentor.
Keep everyone on track: schedules, milestones, progress reports, and status updates.
Monitor budgets, forecast costs, and keep projects profitable.
Coordinate with other trades, superintendents, foremen, and safety teams to make sure everything runs smoothly and safely.
Handle all project paperwork like a pro: submittals, contracts, POs, and revisions.
Communicate any delays, scope changes, or cost impacts and make sure solutions are in place.
