• Assist in the development and monitoring of safety programs that reduce incidents and promote a proactive safety culture.
• Coordinate legal claims and disputes, including tracking attorney invoices and associated costs.

4. Subcontractor Risk & Insurance Compliance

• Conduct subcontractor risk assessments utilizing Compass and related tools.
• Verify insurance requirements, HUB certificates, and prequalification packets.
• Monitor ongoing compliance; process waivers and exceptions in collaboration with business managers and insurance partners.
