Review every drawing before it leaves the group, tracing root causes of rework and fixing them at the source. Own standards, templates, and conventions across all projects, ensuring output remains uniform and adapting changes deliberately. Manage workload by reading the schedule ahead, moving people to critical jobs, and resolving constraints before they stall projects. Provide daily check-ins with team members, delivering immediate feedback and conducting regular coaching and reviews. Proactively raise risks early and answer field and project team questions within a business day.
