Develop, maintain, and enforce detailed project plans covering scope, schedule, budget, procurement, and risk.

Own the project assumption book from development handoff through final completion and COD.

Drive proactive identification and resolution of scope, schedule, and cost risks before they become claims.
-
Manage change order processes rigorously — evaluate, negotiate, and approve or reject contractor requests with full documentation.

Ensure owner-furnished equipment is procured, delivered, and accepted on schedule to avoid contractor delay claims.
Contractor & Stakeholder Management

Hold regular progress meetings; monitor, measure, and report GC performance against baseline schedule and budget.

-
Drive quality assurance and quality control throughout construction; ensure work meets design specifications and corporate standards.

Identify design and construction elements likely to generate disputes; intervene early to protect project outcomes.
Financial Management

Own project cost management: track actuals vs. budget, manage cash flow forecasts, and review and approve contractor invoices.

Develop and implement contingency plans to recover cost or schedule slippage in collaboration with Senior Project Management.

Ensure all site staff fully understand project costs, funding requirements, and financial implications of scope changes.
