Maintain up-to-date site records, daily logs, and progress reports, providing clear updates to all stakeholders. Manage material procurement, equipment delivery, and site cleanliness through every phase of the build. Lead and mentor site teams, building a collaborative atmosphere focused on project goals and client satisfaction. Required Qualifications Progressive site supervision experience on interior renovation and/or fit-out projects in the $5M–$20M range.
