  • Simultaneously manage multiple projects at various stages of construction.
  • Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors, consultants, inspectors, and regulatory authorities.
  • Oversee the submission of shop drawings, safety documentation, and other project-related documents.
  • Ensure effective document control through Autodesk Construction Cloud, managing the latest drawings and project documentation.
  • Supervise the shop drawing review process to ensure compliance with Homestead's standards.
