Work closely with the Project Manager and Superintendent on subcontractor supervision by walking the project daily and directing foremen and tradespeople across all levels of the building, from the podium slab through the top wood‑frame level.
Read and interpret construction drawings, including structural, waterproofing, and fire/life‑safety details specific to podium‑deck assemblies.
Have full knowledge of subcontractor scopes of work and submittals; interpret and enforce trade contracts and scopes.
Maintain and post a current phone/contact list for all site trade foremen.
Open and close the project site daily, or as needed.
Support the Superintendent and Project Manager in developing and maintaining 6‑week look‑ahead schedules.
Build working knowledge of activity sequencing and duration requirements unique to podium/wood‑frame construction, including structural concrete cure times, podium waterproofing and traffic‑coating cure and inspection windows, framing crew mobilization above the podium deck, and installation of fire‑rated floor/ceiling assemblies and shaft/chase enclosures.
Coordinate multiple subcontractor trades working simultaneously across concrete‑podium and wood‑frame scopes.

Quality Control & Documentation

Perform pre‑inspections and verify site work meets company standards and code; walk inspections with the Superintendent and city/AHJ inspectors, including podium deck waterproofing and framing/fire‑separation inspections.
Walk units and common areas to check workmanship quality and cleanliness; create punch lists and follow up on corrective items until closed.
Complete and distribute daily reports (e.g., via Procore), including daily manpower counts.
Draft, submit, and track Procore RFIs for Project Manager review.
Create redlines and maintain as‑built markups reflecting RFI responses and other formal direction.
Attend and/or conduct project meetings; record and distribute meeting minutes to the appropriate trade partners.

Site Logistics

Control daily start‑up and wrap‑up of site facilities.
Maintain jobsite supplies and equipment: tools, restroom/wash stations, fire extinguishers, temporary lighting, spider boxes, generator fuel (as required), and concrete washout stations.
Schedule trash/debris haul‑off and coordinate with the trash removal company.
Be available to work weekends, evenings, or extended hours as needed to meet critical schedule milestones, concrete/podium pours, inspections, or material deliveries.

Culture

High level of communication skills required, both verbal and email, with the ability to communicate clearly, professionally, and concisely with ownership, the design team, subcontractors, city officials, and other project stakeholders.
Working knowledge of Type III‑A and Type V‑A wood‑frame construction methods and materials, and how they interface with a concrete podium structure, relative to current IBC, IFC, IMC, IPC, and NFPA codes and Salt Lake City / Utah amendments.
Working understanding across the full scope of project trades, including underground/site utilities (wet and dry), sitework and earthwork, cast‑in‑place and podium concrete, wood‑frame framing, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) construction, and how sequencing across these trades affects the schedule.
