• Directly supervise contractors, on-site personnel, and construction labour while delegating daily tasks transparently to keep teams motivated.
• Manage material control protocols strictly to eliminate on-site waste, track inventories, and ensure material availability matches project milestones.
• Train, mentor, and evaluate site supervisors to enhance frontline leadership capabilities on the floor.

Stakeholder Liaison & Billing Support
