- Evaluate progress against the schedule, verify installed quantities against approved documents, and recommend progress payments.
- Analyze change requests, potential change orders, and claims, and develop independent cost and schedule positions that support the program’s determination.
- Oversee quality assurance activities and materials testing coordination, and track nonconformances through documented resolution.
