• Understand the estimated labor, materials, subcontractor costs and gross-margin expectations for each project.
• Track actual performance against budget throughout the project.
• Forecast labor and material variances before they become significant overruns.
• Protect project gross margin through scope management, labor planning, change-order capture and early corrective action.

• Participate in final profitability review and lessons learned.

• Schedule and direct field supervisors, technicians and subcontractors assigned to the project.
• Establish clear expectations regarding deliverables, sequencing and completion dates.
• Ensure supervisors have sufficient information to execute without continual escalation.
• Inspect work quality and confirm installations meet company standards, drawings, scope and customer expectations.
