• Manage all daily construction activities on-site, ensuring work is executed in compliance with contract drawings, specifications, and project documents
• Coordinate subcontractors and trade partners at the site level, including orientation, scheduling, and performance oversight
• Maintain a safe and compliant job site — conduct subcontractor safety orientations and enforce all safety protocols
• Ensure quality control and verify that all installations meet the required standards before acceptance
• Develop and maintain the three‑week look‑ahead schedule
• Manage the overall construction schedule to ensure on‑time project completion
• Coordinate deliveries, inspections, and milestones to keep the project on track

• Log daily progress and document site conditions, RFIs, and any issues affecting schedule or cost
• Represent Modern Construction Services professionally with clients, architects, and inspectors on‑site
