• Coordinate multi-discipline work sequencing across civil, structural steel, concrete, and architectural scopes running concurrently; resolve trade conflicts before they impact schedule
• Monitor field progress against baseline schedule and budget; identify variances early and develop corrective action plans in coordination with the Site Manager
• Ensure compliance with project-specific construction standards and applicable codes including IBC, AISC, ACI, NFPA, and OSHA requirements
• Enforce site HSE policies and zero-accident culture across all CSA contractors and trade partners on site
• Manage subcontract field administration including change orders, technical queries, and claims documentation
• Prepare and deliver regular field progress, cost, and risk reports to the Site Manager and project leadership
• Coordinate with MEP and other discipline managers to resolve interface issues and maintain integrated schedule performance
• Support commissioning and system turnover activities for CSA-related scopes
