• Drive QA/QC in the field and enforce Align and client standards
• Oversee construction documentation (RFIs, submittals, change orders, invoicing)
• Resolve scope gaps and field issues; lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
• Report on key construction metrics to internal teams and leadership
