  • Manage quality control and safety: enforce company/site safety programs, perform job walks, and address corrective actions.
  • Drive client communication and relationship management: weekly status updates, RFIs, submittal approvals, and dispute resolution.
  • Lead closeout: as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranty documentation, lien releases, and final billing.
  • Mentor and develop junior PMs and project staff; contribute to continuous improvement and lessons-learned reviews.
