- Quality: verify scope complete and quality workmanship before crews leave jobs; drive down rerolls
- Daily logs and job documentation across all three verticals; on-site supervision on larger commercial projects
- Budget control: supervise man-hours and material against job budgets and eliminate admin time
- Accountability: coach and hold technicians to SA standards; own time tracking and clock-in/out compliance
- Scheduling oversight with PM and dispatch; rebalance crews in real time for skills, weather, callins, inspections, and change orders
- Coordinate GCs, subcontractors, owner reps, and inspectors; hold sub work to SA standards
- Documentation: photos, marketing, reports and QC records current on all active jobs; vehicle and trailer inspections
- Communicate delays and risks to PM, support weekly safety meetings, and uphold SA's culture of safety and humility
