• Ensure correct installation of formwork, reinforcement, embeds, and concrete placements.
• Verify layout, formwork, rebar, pours, finishing, and CMU work meet plans, specifications, and QA/QC requirements.

• Complete daily reports, employee time sheets, manpower counts, jobsite photos, and attend project meetings, accurately and consistently.
• Report field conditions, progress, delays, and extra work to the Site Superintendent and Project Manager so RFIs, prep meetings, submittals, and material tracking remain on schedule.
