• Maintain accurate daily reports, site documentation, progress photos, and other required records
• Lead safety efforts on site and maintain a clean, organized, and professional jobsite
• Manage punch list activities, inspections, turnover, and project closeout
• Travel to future project locations throughout the United States as business needs require
