- Develop and submit RFIs and assist with submittal reviews to confirm compliance with project specifications.
- Read and interpret plans, specifications, and shop drawings to keep work properly coordinated and installed.
- Manage and resolve punch lists, and meet with AHJs and third-party inspectors to facilitate inspections and approvals.
- Engage subcontractors and suppliers daily through huddles and coordination meetings to keep the schedule on track.
- Review and apply Samet TSWs, owner contracts, and trade partner scopes of work to your field responsibilities.
- Use Bluebeam and other construction software fluently for documentation and workflows.
