• Track and report field-driven schedule changes, RFIs, and potential change conditions for formal change order processing.
• Maintain as-built markups, submittal logs, and RFI logs in the project management platform (e.g., Procore).

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Conduct regular quality inspections to confirm work conforms to plans, specifications, and FLBC standards.
• Enforce OSHA, state, and local safety regulations; lead toolbox talks and site safety meetings.

• Communicate schedule risks and field conditions clearly and promptly to the Project Manager and Senior Superintendent.
• Represent FLBC professionally with owners, trade partners, and the adjacent community.
