• Manage RFIs, submittals, procurement, project correspondence, and closeout documentation.
• Maintain accurate and timely project records using Procore.
• Identify contractual risks, scope discrepancies, and potential cost impacts.
• Maintain organized documentation to support billing, change orders, and project accountability.

Customer & Team Relationships

• Serve as a primary point of contact for general contractors and project stakeholders.
• Build and maintain strong customer relationships through responsiveness, professionalism, and accountability.
• Work closely with field leadership to support successful project execution.
• Communicate clearly, solve problems proactively, and represent Skyline professionally.
