• Drive accountability with subcontractors—protect schedule, elevate issues early, enforce contract scope.
• Partner with PM and APM to control manpower burn, subcontractor sequences, material lead times, and crane/delivery logistics.
• Manage loading dock windows, street closures, pedestrian paths, swing staging, and vertical transport plans.
• Represent the company in client OAC meetings, presenting schedule updates and risk mitigations.

• Proven ability to sequence work in dense urban sites with limited laydown space.
• Proficient in Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project (or equivalent scheduling tool).
• Ability to read and redline drawings, understand specs, and lead constructability conversations.
• OSHA-30 required (or ability to complete within 60 days).
