Essential Duties & Responsibilities
Financial Management & Buyout
• Build and manage the project buyout log for each assigned project, buying out every scope of work with assistance from the Estimator.
• Level out subcontractor bids and obtain owner sign-off before awarding subcontracts, targeting a strong net buyout result against the original budget.
• Prepare project budgets based on scope of work and required resources, and track project cost on an ongoing basis to meet budget.
• Manage the monthly pay application process: assemble the application, confirm subcontractor submissions are timely and accurate, obtain all required lien releases before submission, and ensure timely payment from the owner.
• Review subcontractor pay applications for accuracy with the Project Superintendent, and coordinate with Accounting to ensure timely payment to subcontractors once Landmark is paid.
• Request unconditional lien releases from subcontractors following payment.
• Attend, manage, and contribute to monthly cost reviews and provide regular financial status updates to leadership.
Documentation, Logs & Change Management
• Write, review, and manage all Requests for Information (RFIs), tracking and confirming RFIs and ASIs with the project team and notifying the owner promptly of any impact to schedule or cost.
• Develop, issue, and manage all change orders, including Owner Change Orders (OCOs), Subcontractor Change Orders (SCOs), and Potential Change Orders (PCOs), ensuring owner change orders are submitted without delaying the project and monitoring them through approval.
• Issue subcontractor change orders only once approved by the owner, and ensure subcontractor extra-work costs are appropriately passed through to the owner rather than absorbed by Landmark.
• Manage the internal subcontractor backcharge process, ensuring all parties receive notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure before a backcharge is issued.
• Maintain all project logs, including RFI, submittal, change order, and daily report logs for both Landmark and subcontractor personnel.
• Maintain organized, accurate project files and documentation, ensuring project backup and records are properly stored and easy to retrieve.
• Issue and manage all project correspondence, including required notices to subcontractors, in a professional manner that reflects well on Landmark.
Scheduling & Field Coordination
• Maintain a comprehensive understanding of project plans, specifications, schedule, and budget, and take ownership of the overall project schedule.
• Partner with the Project Superintendent, who develops and manages the detailed field schedule, to track progress, plan and phase activities, and adjust as needed to meet project duration goals.
• Review and manage look-ahead schedules and the overall project schedule, and oversee completion of the final punch list.
• Predict resource needs to reach key project objectives and manage primary and secondary resources effectively against budget and schedule.
• Be present on the jobsite frequently to understand the work being performed and to identify issues early.
