Site logistics and planning. Own site logistics, the field schedule, and short-interval planning with the trades.
Quality and turnover. Verify work against specifications and approved submittals, and run inspections, punch list, and turnover across all trades.
The project relationships. Work with the Project Manager, design team, owner, inspectors, and trade partners to resolve issues quickly.
Documentation and people. Keep field documentation current, make the field calls within delegated authority, and develop the assistant superintendents under you.
