A Day in the Life

Start the day by reviewing the project scope, layout, timeline, safety expectations, tools, materials, and daily work assignments with the crew. Work alongside installers while monitoring pace, labor hours, quality, safety, and job-site professionalism. Identify scope discrepancies, access issues, material shortages, schedule risks, or workmanship concerns early and communicate them to the Field Supervisor. Keep the crew focused, reduce downtime, adjust priorities as needed, and make sure daily productivity expectations are being met. Complete final walkthroughs, address quality concerns before leaving the job site, and provide daily job status updates through ClickUp.
