• Coordinate with project managers, customers, and inspectors as needed
• Maintain accurate documentation including daily reports, photos, and material tracking
• Identify additional repair needs and communicate potential change orders or scope gaps
• Uphold jobsite safety standards, including proper PPE use and hazard recognition
