You'll track operational performance metrics such as revenue, productivity, callbacks, overtime, customer feedback, and job completion rates while identifying trends and areas for improvement. You'll also work closely with ownership and project leadership by maintaining visibility into construction schedules, labor usage, permits, inspections, delays, and project status, while preparing reports and recommendations that support informed business decisions.
