- Communication: Keep management informed of progress, delays, site conditions,



and potential changes to the scope. Maintain professional relationships with clients and site representatives.
- Safety & Documentation: Lead safe work practices and ensure daily logs, progress photos, and time records are accurate and submitted on time.
