• Maintain accurate project documentation, including schedules, RFIs, meeting notes, change orders, test records, as-builts, and closeout documents.
• Serve as the primary customer contact, providing proactive updates, resolving issues, and ensuring a smooth project experience and handoff to service/warranty.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Design/Engineering, Operations, Service, customers, GCs, consultants, and AHJs to ensure successful project delivery.
• Provide regular updates on project status, manpower, materials, milestones, financial performance, risks, and opportunities.
• Promote a strong safety culture by ensuring compliance with company policies, customer requirements, OH&S regulations, Alberta Building Code, and applicable ULC standards.
• Coach and mentor field teams, reinforce accountability and best practices, and identify opportunities to improve project delivery.
