• Own ongoing servicing for assigned loan portfolios, including construction loans, A&D loans, revolvers, and borrowing base facilities.
• Monitor covenant compliance, performance pricing, borrowing base activity, and financial reporting throughout the life of the loan.
• Respond to audit requests and work with internal partners to resolve issues as they arise.
