* Coordinate and manage subcontractors on site, including scheduling their activities, clarifying expectations, and ensuring they have the resources and information needed to complete their work.

* Maintain a strong on-site presence whenever subcontractors are working, actively monitoring progress, resolving issues, and keeping the project on track.

* Oversee quality control by reviewing work in place, determining whether it meets project standards, and directing corrections or changes as needed.

* Create, maintain, and update short-term schedules, including 3-4 week look-ahead schedules, to align field activities with overall project milestones.

* Run and facilitate on-site project meetings with subcontractors, internal project teams, and other stakeholders to communicate priorities, resolve conflicts, and maintain alignment.

* Support and participate in design-build processes as needed by coordinating field activities with design intent and clarifications.

* Assist in managing general construction activities on multi-family, hospitality, manufacturing, and other commercial projects, ensuring alignment with project goals.

* Use basic computer skills to manage documentation, schedules, and communication through Procore and other tools.

* Support weekend or early-morning work when required, coordinating with project managers and assistant project managers to ensure adequate coverage.
