• Coordinate submittals, product approvals, RFIs, permits, inspections, and manufacturer requirements.

• Monitor installation quality, including substrate preparation, attachment methods, membrane seams, flashing, terminations, and drainage details.

• Partner with superintendents and foremen to resolve field conditions and support safe, productive roofing operations.

• Document scope changes, prepare change orders, and manage progress billing and project records.

• Serve as a primary customer contact, communicating project status, technical requirements, and schedule impacts to customers, general contractors, and internal teams.

• Coordinate punch lists, manufacturer inspections, warranty documentation, and final closeout.

• Review completed projects to improve estimating accuracy, execution, and profitability.
