• Prepare project status reports, track project financials, process purchase orders and invoices, and maintain accurate cost-control and forecasting documentation
• Coordinate building inspections, permit requirements, commissioning activities, punch-list completion, and project turnover processes
• Manage accounts receivable and project financial reporting in accordance with corporate finance guidelines

• Strong ability to read, interpret, and review architectural, structural, civil, and MEP construction drawings, specifications, and construction documents
• Working knowledge of construction means and methods, permitting processes, building systems, life-safety requirements, and local building codes
• Experience managing general contractors, subcontractors, architects, consultants, and other project stakeholders
• Strong understanding of project controls, including RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, and project closeout documentation
• Highly organized with strong analytical, financial, and problem-solving skills and exceptional attention to detail
