- Travel between project sites as required for project coordination, inspections, follow-up, and communication duties.

- Receive project and contract setup direction after award and confirm that the vendor, approved scope, contract value, project name, Yardi job number, cost code, allocation direction, and approval documentation are complete before proceeding.
- Create or coordinate creation of Yardi jobs, enter approved budgets, and support Yardi contract setup using approved project, budget, cost code, allocation, and Schedule of Values information.

- Follow up on missing, expired, incomplete, or incorrect startup documentation and escalate issues that may affect contract execution or project progress.
- Review Schedule of Values information for alignment with the awarded contract value, approved scope, job, site, cost code, and allocation requirements. Escalate mismatches before proceeding.

Operational Planning, Scheduling and Quality Assurance:

- Develop actionable project plans that identify tasks, resource requirements, responsibilities, and timelines.
- Manage and track approved construction schedules so contractor activity, supply deliveries, access requirements, shutdowns, and key milestones remain current and visible.
- Complete regular site inspections and progress checks while work is scheduled or underway to confirm contractor attendance, progress, quality, and general alignment with approved scope, site instructions, and priorities.
- Identify and document visible delays, access or coordination issues, incomplete work, damage, safety concerns, and other items that may affect progress, quality, residents, staff, or building operations.
- Document site observations and photos where appropriate, and escalate major project deviations, delays, quality concerns, or corrective action requirements to the Operations Manager or Maintenance Supervisor.

Budget Oversight, Reporting and Documentation:

- Monitor project expenses against approved budgets and identify potential overspends early so cost-effective practices can be maintained.
- Review and validate contractor expenses and costs against quoted or approved amounts and flag discrepancies for resolution.
- Maintain accurate records of project activities, including award documentation, approved scope, work orders, inspections, repairs, startup documents, contracts, Yardi records, schedules, change documentation, purchase orders, communications, and approved exceptions.
- Document day-to-day project progress, including changes in scope, schedule, cost, or outstanding follow-up items.
- Provide regular project updates to the Operations Manager or Maintenance Supervisor, highlighting accomplishments, challenges, risks, decisions required, and next steps.

Construction and Renovation Supply Coordination:

- Coordinate construction and renovation supply orders that are purchased separately for contractor installation, including specialty or overseas materials where applicable.
- Track order status, delivery dates, shipping details, storage and access requirements, and site coordination needs until delivery is confirmed.
- Communicate delivery delays, backorders, damage, missing items, or schedule risks to affected contractors, property staff, and the Maintenance Supervisor, and maintain order and delivery documentation in the project file.

- Liaise with contractors, suppliers, Maintenance Supervisor, Finance / Accounting, and other internal teams to resolve project challenges and keep work moving.
- Communicate scheduled construction work, shutdowns, access requirements, work areas, expected resident or operational impacts,

- Maintain current knowledge of industry standards, best practices, and technologies related to high-rise residential building projects.
- Ensure work is performed in accordance with company policies, applicable safety requirements, and project-specific procedures.
