• Work onsite during the first six months to meet with general contractors, subcontractors, and field management to gather accurate scheduling inputs and updates.
• Manage workload distribution across the project schedule and monitor customer delivery and job installation progress to ensure milestones are met.
• Coordinate closely with Project Management, Leads, and Superintendents to develop and maintain a detailed calendar from project implementation through completion.
