• Conduct daily site walks and proactively identify schedule, quality, constructability, and coordination issues
• Work closely with Project Managers and Project Engineers to resolve RFIs, submittal issues, drawing conflicts, and field conditions
• Lead subcontractor coordination meetings and communicate expectations clearly to all project partners
• Maintain accurate daily reports and field documentation
• Monitor manpower and subcontractor performance against project schedule requirements
• Coordinate inspections with local jurisdictions and project stakeholders
