Track construction progress, update project trackers, and prepare clear, concise updates and reports for senior leadership and client stakeholders.

Ensure project documentation is meticulously maintained for close-out, including final inspection records and handover processes.

Review and enforce the use of approved materials, ensuring all procurement aligns with quality specifications and submittal registers.
