• Read and interpret civil drawings and specifications; resolve conflicts in coordination with the project engineer.
• Drive the project schedule on the ground; keep the three-week look-ahead realistic and current.
• Own jobsite safety: lead the morning JHA, walk the work zone, address hazards immediately.
• Coordinate subcontractors and material deliveries with the project manager.
• Communicate progress, risks, and needs to the project manager daily.
• Mentor foremen; build crew capability over time.
• Maintain quality standards and own the punch-list close-out.

Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to run a crew of 10+ on a multi-phase project.
• OSHA 30; valid driver's license.
