• Track project constraints, assign follow-up actions, and help resolve issues affecting schedule, productivity, billing, or customer commitments.
• Identify, price, submit, negotiate, and track change orders, including cost, schedule, labor, material, and productivity impacts.
• Organize and maintain field documentation, including time-and-material records, quality check sheets, site reports, photos, backup documentation, and change order support.
• Prepare accurate cost-to-complete updates and project forecasts using field input, production data, committed costs, approved changes, and known risks.
• Review and approve applicable material, equipment, subcontractor, and project-related invoices.
• Prepare and submit progress applications, support billing requirements, and coordinate with finance to resolve payment, invoicing, or cost coding issues.
• Maintain strong communication with clients, general contractors, consultants, suppliers, internal teams, and leadership.
• Support project closeout, deficiency tracking, final documentation, warranty requirements, and post-project lessons learned.
• Follow and support RWC standard project management tools, workflows, documentation practices, and process improvement initiatives.
