• Prepare and review Xactimate-based cost estimates and scopes of work; verify accuracy, completeness, and alignment with CDBG-DR program eligibility requirements prior to contractor assignment.
• Conduct comprehensive residential inspections - interior, exterior, crawlspace, attic, and roof - to establish scopes of work, document construction progress, and verify compliance with program standards.
• Track and monitor project schedules, production rates, and contractor deliverables; proactively identify and communicate delays and issues to the Construction Manager.
• Maintain an organized daily activity log to track project progress, key communications, site conditions, and to document uncontrollable delays (e.g., weather, permitting, utility outages) impacting schedule performance.
• Serve as a field contact for general contractors; provide guidance on contract documents, program requirements, quality standards, and corrective action requirements.
• Maintain complete and accurate construction documentation including photographs, inspection reports, scope notes, change orders, and compliance checklists per CDBG-DR standards.
• Participate in pre-construction meetings with general contractors, design staff, and homeowners as required.
• Coordinate with case management and compliance staff to ensure construction activities align with program eligibility determinations, environmental clearances, and award documentation.
• Maintain regular communication with program applicants/homeowners regarding job status, upcoming milestones, and schedule impacts; prepare and distribute weekly homeowner progress reports in accordance with program requirements.
• Assist with Davis-Bacon Act compliance monitoring including certified payroll review and site labor interviews.
• Contribute to quality control and quality assurance activities across assigned projects; help prepare for federal monitoring visits and program audits.
• Work with and provide field support to Construction Inspectors as part of the broader construction team.
• Adhere to and promote LEMOINE's LIFE Safe Work Practices at all active project sites.
• Willingness and ability to travel within the Tampa Bay area and across Florida as program needs require.
