  • Track and manage tenant-level schedule milestones, ensuring alignment with the overall campus master schedule and commissioning plan.

  • Participate in progress meetings, coordination meetings, and commissioning readiness discussions, documenting action items and driving timely resolution of tenant-fit-out-related issues.
  • Identify risks related to constructability, access, sequencing, shutdowns, system tie-ins, and commissioning readiness, and proactively elevate concerns with recommended paths forward.
  • Support testing, commissioning, punch list execution, and readiness for turnover, verifying tenant systems are complete, coordinated, documented, and aligned with operational requirements.
  • Review and verify progress reporting, change impacts, and pay-application support documentation associated with tenant fit-out scopes, providing recommendations to the owner.
  • Provide clear, concise reporting to owner leadership on progress, risks, decisions, and issues impacting tenant delivery, schedule certainty, and operational readiness.
  • Additional duties as assigned by Management
