• Communication & Reporting Cadence: Run weekly project rhythms (agendas, minutes, actions), produce clear status updates (schedule, budget inputs, critical path items, risks), and maintain stakeholder communications across local and global teams.
• Project Controls & Document Management: Own the project documentation system (RFI/submittals log, drawing revisions, meeting records, change logs), ensuring version control, timely distribution, and audit-ready organization.
