A day in the life

You own the field. From the site trailer to the final punch, you set the pace for safety, quality, schedule, and budget.

• Direct and coordinate all field activities for contractors, suppliers, and vendors to meet drawings, specifications, and workmanship standards.

• Participate in Owner/Architect pre-bid, project, and closeout meetings.
• Solicit proposals from subcontractors and suppliers prior to bid deadlines.
• Prepare professional correspondence (e.g., schedule of values, project schedules, memos, RFIs, transmittals, submittals).
• Submit building permit applications, track reviews, secure approvals, and process associated fees via Check Request (Urgent Pay Request) per procedure.
• During execution, proactively steer quality, schedule, budget, and safety; use scheduling and document-control tools to track performance.
• Document subcontractor/supplier progress and quality; notify them of plan/spec/schedule changes promptly.
• Keep management informed on productivity, costs, quality control, documentation, and payment applications; escalate issues affecting quality, budget, progress, or safety.
• Prepare, schedule, and oversee completion of the final punch list; maintain an orderly site and construction office.
• Nurture strong relationships with customers, subcontractors, suppliers, and teammates.
• Perform other related duties aligned with core responsibilities as needed.
