• Manage project documentation and contractual requirements, including RFIs, submittals, change orders, notices, and other project controls.
• Conduct site visits as necessary to monitor progress, quality, safety, productivity, and overall project execution.
• Support and mentor less-experienced project management team members while promoting consistent project management practices and continuous improvement.
