Develop accurate equipment take-offs and coordinate equipment ordering for individual projects.
Monitor project KPIs and vendor performance, addressing schedule, cost, quality, safety, and execution issues promptly.
Track and resolve project deficiencies, ensuring outstanding items are documented and completed within required timelines.
Promote a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with applicable environmental, accessibility, life-safety, and regulatory requirements.
