  • Maintains accurate and complete project records, including correspondence, meeting minutes, daily diaries, photographs, and as-built documentation, and ensures compliance with departmental policies and procedures.
  • Compiles Inspector Daily Reports and field documentation into the official project record and supports the Resident Engineer in documenting the Contractor's activities.
  • Supports closeout activities, including punch list tracking, warranty documentation, lien releases, final quantities, final payment, and turnover of the project record set to the Authority.
  • Coordinates with transit operations, maintenance, signals, track, and systems disciplines to ensure construction activities and documentation are aligned to minimize impact on active service.
  • Confers with contractors regarding compliance with plans, quality of work, and construction activity as it relates to documentation, submittals, and payment.
