7. Team Leadership: Observe and influence the activities of construction teams, subcontractors, and support staff on behalf of the Owner, fostering a collaborative and safety-focused work environment.
8. Site Safety: Consult to ensure compliance with safety regulations and best practices and recommend corrective actions to maintain a safe work environment for all personnel.
9. Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate project documentation, including contracts, permits, change orders, and progress reports, and provide regular reporting to stakeholders.

• Proven track record of proactively managing project schedules and mitigating risks to prevent delays.
• Skilled at building and maintaining trust-based relationships across diverse groups of stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, communication, and negotiation skills that align cross-functional teams around shared goals.
