- Coordinate with concrete suppliers, equipment operators, and subcontractors to sequence pours and inspections.
- Enforce site safety practices, perform toolbox talks, and ensure proper use of PPE and fall protection.
- Inspect formwork and embedded items for quality, make field adjustments, and document nonconformances.
