• Track field progress and conduct regular site walks to resolve on‑the‑ground challenges

Relationship Management

• Lead, mentor, and motivate project team members for high‑performance outcomes
• Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors, architects, inspectors, neighbors, and local agencies
• Collaborate with Asset and Development Teams to align project objectives with broader company goals
• Support AVB safety and health programs, ensuring compliance across all sites
