- Material & Equipment Logistics: Track inventory, manage deliveries, and coordinate heavy equipment operations (forklifts, mixers) to prevent any downtime on the wall.
- Documentation: Complete precise daily logs, track hours, manage timecards, and communicate progress updates directly to the Project Superintendent.
