- Schedule and track project startup items, i.e.: water meter deliveries, porta-potties for job sites, and temporary traffic control setup.
- Once the company has won the job, assist with post-award material takeoffs to help the PM or PE determine the actual quantities of materials needed to order and deliver for construction.
- Coordinate quotes for materials and trucking services when needed.
- Coordinate field support activities such as equipment logistics and daily jobsite needs.
- Ensure materials and services align with takeoffs and crew timelines, i.e.: delivery of 50 tons of AB, scheduling a sweeper for post-grind cleanup, or confirming water truck service for dust control.

- Internal Teams: Support Estimators, PMs, Foremen, and Superintendents with timely and accurate project documentation, coordination, and communication.
