• Working with the estimating team during project handover to ensure scope, budget and expectations are clearly understood
• Identifying potential risks, scope gaps and opportunities before they impact the project
• Supporting procurement and ensuring materials and resources are available when required
• Maintaining regular communication with owners, engineers, inspectors and other project stakeholders
• Attending pre-construction, progress and project meetings
• Resolving project issues and coordinating solutions between office and field teams
• Ensuring projects are delivered in accordance with contract requirements, quality standards and safety expectations
• Managing project closeout, final documentation and turnover
