On a daily basis, you will encounter: - conflicting information from the field - vendor delays and logistics challenges - outdated schedules - incomplete project records - changing jobsite conditions Your role is to identify and address these issues before they create schedule disruptions, communication gaps, or operational inefficiencies. This position requires initiative. Waiting for direction before responding to project issues creates risk rather than reducing it. Filtering Signal: This role is not suitable for individuals who depend on detailed task-by-task instructions or frequent approval before taking action. **CORE RESPONSIBILITIES (REAL-WORLD EXECUTION)** **1\. Project Coordination (TIMELINE & PROGRESS MANAGEMENT)** - Monitor active project schedules and compare planned milestones against actual field progress - Assess schedule impacts when delays occur and communicate revised expectations promptly - Obtain missing information from superintendents, vendors, and stakeholders without being prompted - Address unclear project status updates before they develop into larger scheduling issues **2\. JobTread Administration (PROJECT DATA ACCURACY)** - Maintain JobTread as the primary and most accurate project management system - Update incomplete, outdated, or conflicting information as soon as discrepancies are identified - Verify and reconcile differences between field activity and system records - Ensure budgets, schedules, RFIs, change orders, and project documentation reflect current jobsite conditions **3\. Field Communication & Coordination (INFORMATION ALIGNMENT)** - Act as the communication bridge between Project Managers, superintendents, subcontractors, and field teams - Clarify inconsistent reports by communicating directly with involved parties - Close information gaps when updates are delayed, incomplete, or unclear - Escalate issues only when coordination efforts cannot resolve them operationally **4\. Vendor Coordination & Logistics (FOLLOW-THROUGH OWNERSHIP)** - Proactively communicate with vendors regarding deliveries, lead times, and constraints - Follow up consistently on pending deliveries and schedule commitments - Coordinate material arrivals with actual site readiness - Reduce disruptions caused by delivery timing conflicts or logistical delays **5\. Permit & Compliance Administration (STATUS TRACKING)** - Monitor permits and approvals from submission through final issuance - Follow up with agencies and stakeholders to obtain status updates - Maintain organized compliance records and supporting documentation - Identify and communicate risks when approval delays may impact project schedules **6\.
