• Maintaining a daily on-site presence to observe and document progress, workmanship, and conformance to drawings, specs, and design intent
• Identifying deficiencies and non-conforming work, then escalating to the GC and senior team for resolution
• Tracking GC progress against baseline and look-ahead schedules, flagging delays, sequencing conflicts, and long-lead or FF&E items that affect the critical path
• Reviewing pay applications, change order requests, and backup documentation to verify accuracy and entitlement
• Supporting budget tracking, cost reports, and forecasts, and surfacing cost exposures early
• Managing RFI, submittal, and change logs to keep owner decisions timely
• Coordinating with architects, engineers, and consultants to resolve field issues and clarify design intent
• Attending and documenting OAC meetings, preparing minutes, and following up on open action items
• Producing daily reports, progress photos, and field observation logs, and keeping project records organized
• Driving punch list completion and supporting commissioning, inspections, permit close-out, and turnover of O&M manuals, warranties, and as-builts
• Monitoring that the GC maintains a safe, OSHA-compliant site (oversight role; enforcement stays with the GC)

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field, or equivalent field experience
• 5+ years of construction project experience; owner's rep, interiors, or commercial fit-out background preferred
• Working knowledge of construction means and methods, MEP systems, and interior finishes
• Comfort reading and interpreting drawings, specs, and contracts
• Proficiency with Procore (or similar), Bluebeam, MS Project or Primavera P6, and Microsoft Office
• Strong organizational and written and verbal communication skills
• OSHA 30 preferred
• Able to be on-site full-time and navigate active construction environments
