- Scheduling the daily transport of workers to and from the site (sometimes a little logistical challenge, but always rewarding when everyone’s there on time)
- Communicating with project managers, engineers, and subcontractors to relay updates and resolve on-site hiccups quickly
- Tracking the progress of tasks, troubleshooting delays, and pushing for on-time delivery without sacrificing quality
