• Coordinate trade sequencing so crews arrive to work that is complete and ready
  
  

• Review complete plans, specifications, contracts, and project scope before work begins
  
  
• Participate in site walks, preconstruction meetings, and project assessments

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• This is not a desk-only Project Manager role
  
  
• This is not a position where the Superintendent owns the entire schedule

• This is not managing projects from a distance without understanding field conditions
  
  
• This is not waiting for Leadership to identify every risk or determine every next step
  
  
• This is not a role for someone who requires a large corporate support team to perform basic PM responsibilities
