Budget & Financial Tracking :
Monitoring project expenditures to ensure the project stays within budget and managing any change orders or financial adjustments.
Stakeholder Communication :
Acting as the primary point of contact for the client, internal teams, and other trades (e.g., electricians, architects), providing regular status updates and managing expectations.
Risk Management :
Proactively identifying potential project risks (e.g., equipment delays, site access issues) and developing mitigation plans.
Quality Assurance & Compliance :
Ensuring that all work meets industry standards (like those from
AVIXA ), design specifications, and safety regulations.
