Customer Engagement & Communication
Serve as primary point of contact for customers, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams.
Communicate project updates weekly, proactively resolve issues, and address customer concerns.
Interpret contract terms, negotiate revisions, and ensure compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
Budget & Financial Management
Monitor project budgets to maintain profitability and positive cash flow.
Develop cost estimates, proposals, change orders, and forecasts.
Review and approve monthly cost updates, productivity reports, and cash‑flow projections.
Compliance & Quality
Ensure projects meet IBC, NEC, NFPA, and jurisdictional requirements.
Oversee AHJ inspections and approvals.
Monitor adherence to safety protocols and quality standards.
