• Drive every subcontract and affiliate work order to execution with the Contracts Manager, starting from the quotes gathered during the bid. Contracts drafts; you track and chase to signature.
• Collect what each subcontractor owes before mobilizing, including prequalification, bonds, insurance, and required plans.
• Stand up and own the commitments register through contract execution, then hand executed commitments to the Procurement Manager, who owns material and long-lead buyout through delivery.
• Build the turnover package from the estimate and lead the handoff meeting with the vertical’s Director of Construction.
• Coordinate job setup with Finance and PMO so the first charge lands on a fully set-up job.

• Improve the transition checklist after every job and train the people who come in behind you.
