• Collect photos/notes, document issues, and send a daily operations report to management
• Track key operational KPIs (productivity, rework, schedule adherence, crew utilization)

• Traffic coating

• Proven experience coordinating construction crews / field operations (foreman, dispatcher, site coordinator, superintendent, ops coordinator, etc.)
• Strong planning and communication skills (you can give clear instructions and hold people accountable)
• Organized, proactive, and calm under pressure (construction changes daily—this role exists to handle it)
• Comfortable with tools, job sites, and reading drawings/scope details

• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel between sites in Greater Vancouver

• Experience specifically in waterproofing, roofing, sheet metal, and/or traffic coating
• Familiarity with job tracking tools (Procore and SharePoint)
• Experience building best practices / standard procedures and training crews

• Strong communication with General Contractors, internal managers, and crews
