• Submittal Coordination: Work with Engineering team to verify equipment selections conform with project specifications.

Procurement & Logistics

• Purchase Orders: Issue POs to vendors based on the approved engineering takeoff.
• Lead Time Management: Proactively track shipping dates and communicate potential delays to the Operations Manager to prevent site downtime.
• Inventory Management: verify shipments, organize and consolidate project materials. Generate equipment transmittals and facilitate deliveries.

RFI Management

• RFI Generation: Draft formal Requests for Information based on technical gaps identified by the Engineering or Field teams (e.g., missing mechanical schedules, conflicting wiring diagrams, or site access constraints).
• Pipeline Tracking: Maintain an RFI Log to track "Open" vs. "Closed" queries. Proactively follow up with General Contractors or Engineers of Record.
• Information Distribution: Once an RFI is answered, immediately distribute the resolution to the relevant Project Manager, Engineer, and Lead Technician to ensure the "Latest and Greatest" information is being used on-site.
• Cost Impact Awareness: Flags RFIs that result in a "Change in Scope" for the Sales or Project Management team to ensure a Change Order is processed before work commences.

Change Order & Scope Management

• Change Order Log Maintenance: Own and update the master Change Order Log for all active projects. Track every CO from "Identified" to "Quoted" to "Approved" and finally "Invoiced."
• Proposal Support: Assist Sales or Project Managers in compiling the "backup" for CO proposals, including labor hour estimates, material quotes, and updated equipment counts.
• Follow-up & Persistence: Regularly follow up with General Contractors and Owners on outstanding CO proposals. Ensure no "extra work" proceeds without a signed CO or a formal "Proceed at Risk" directive from the Branch Manager.
• Internal Coordination: Once a CO is approved, ensure the Engineering team receives the new scope details to update drawings and the Admin Lead is notified to add the value to the monthly AIA billing.

Project Closeout

• As-Builts & O&Ms: Collect red-lined drawings from the field and compile professional Operation & Maintenance manuals.
• Warranty Management: Issue warranty letters and archive project databases upon completion

Physical Requirements:

• Financial Literacy: Basic understanding of construction accounting, specifically AIA Progress Billings (G702/G703) and lien waivers.
• Documentation: Experience reading and interpreting construction blueprints, specifications, and floor plans.
• Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and data entry are daily requirements).

• Prioritization: The ability to manage 20+ active projects simultaneously without losing track of deadlines.
• Communication: High-level verbal and written communication skills for "managing up" to the Branch Manager and "managing out" to General Contractors.
