• Review project progress and follow up on outstanding deliverables to maintain schedule performance
• Identify scope gaps, conflicts, coordination issues, and potential risks early in the project lifecycle
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to resolve design and scope issues before they impact schedule, budget, or quality
• Manage project workflows across architectural, engineering, permitting, and construction phases
• Communicate directly with clients, provide project updates, address concerns, and manage expectations throughout project execution
• Coordinate design reviews, project milestones, permitting requirements, and construction-phase activities
