• Maintain the integrated construction schedule, track actual progress, identify critical-path impacts, and implement recovery plans when milestones are at risk.
• Coordinate daily and weekly work planning with superintendents, trade partners, Project Management, engineering, procurement, and site leadership.
• Monitor contractor staffing, supervision, productivity, material availability, equipment, and execution against contractual commitments.
• Lead site coordination meetings and communicate priorities, constraints, decisions, and required corrective actions.
• Resolve field conflicts and drive RFIs, design clarifications, submittals, and technical decisions to timely closure.
• Coordinate civil and site work, foundations and structural construction, architectural and life-safety scopes, plumbing and mechanical construction, electrical construction controls, SCADA, communications, security, monitoring, and other low-voltage systems with the applicable equipment and trade packages.
• Coordinate heavy equipment deliveries, receival inspections, storage, rigging, crane operations, setting, preservation, and final installation.
• Maintain visibility into procurement status and elevate long-lead equipment, material shortages, fabrication delays, and delivery risks.
• Review contractor applications for payment, progress quantities, change requests, and supporting documentation in coordination with Project Management and Procurement.
