Core Responsibilities

Area

Responsibility

• Support handoff from estimating or preconstruction, review scope and contract requirements, set up logs and files, and help align startup tasks around schedule, procurement, billing, and field needs.

• Maintain RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, permits, notices, daily logs, drawing distributions, and correspondence so the project record stays current and defensible.

• Assist with committed-cost tracking, invoice coding, labor and production visibility, forecast support, and monthly reporting so the Project Manager has timely job-cost information.

• Prepare backup for requisitions, track pending and approved change orders, organize pricing support, and help keep billing, WIP, and collections documentation moving.

• Help track material releases, vendor commitments, delivery timing, and required buyout or purchasing support so field operations stay supplied.

• Communicate with project managers, superintendents, safety, accounting, vendors, and clients so open items are visible and follow-up is timely.

• Organize punch-list, O&M, warranty, as-built, permit closeout, and final-record support so project completion is clean and timely.

Scope and Decision Rights

• Authority to manage project documentation, routine coordination, log maintenance, vendor follow-up, and day-to-day administrative support on assigned work within Project Manager direction and approved company controls.

• Responsibility to identify and escalate schedule slippage, material delays, scope gaps, billing issues, access constraints, safety concerns, and cost risk early enough for the Project Manager and leadership to act.

• Shared decision support with project managers, superintendents, accounting, safety, and operations on procurement timing, change-order backup, billing documentation, recovery plans, and issue resolution; major commercial commitments remain with project management or executive leadership.
