• Monitor job sites to ensure compliance with safety standards, plumbing best practices, and company policies.
• Coordinate with management, inspectors, subcontractors, and other trades to resolve field issues efficiently.
• Track labor hours, material usage, and job progress accurately.
• Provide on-the-job training, mentorship, and technical guidance to plumbing team members as needed.
