This includes conducting daily briefings and weekly coordination meetings, and monitoring subcontractor performance against quality standards, timelines, and contractual obligations.

Safety & Compliance — Enforcing OSHA/MSHA regulations, conducting regular safety inspections, hazard assessments, and toolbox talks, and promptly documenting and addressing any safety incidents or concerns.

Quality Control & Documentation — Reviewing plans, specifications, shop drawings, and subcontract requirements to ensure accurate execution; monitoring workmanship and materials; and maintaining thorough daily logs documenting production, delays, conflicts, safety compliance, and stakeholder interactions.
