• Visit active job sites to monitor project progress, verify quality workmanship, and address customer questions or concerns
• Support field crews by helping ensure projects stay on schedule and meet company quality standards
• Build referral relationships with plumbers, builders, municipalities, real estate professionals, contractors, and property managers
