• Maintain up-to-date project documentation in the cloud management system.
• Inspections & Regulatory Compliance:
• Coordinate and walk municipal building inspections, architect/engineering observations, and special testing inspections.
• Ensure full compliance with local building codes, construction details, and safety regulations.
• Cross-Functional Communication:
• Serve as an active conduit between field trades, in-house architects/engineers, and the Construction Manager to resolve questions rapidly.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the confidence to direct trades on-site.
