• Prepare, monitor, and update project schedules in Wrike, aligning manpower, subcontractors, and materials with project timelines.

• Implement and control the Work Inspection Report (WIR) system — issue, inspect, and sign off on all pre- and post-WIRs; maintain WIR logs and ensure no work begins without prior approval.
• Review and verify the Daily Site Reports (DSRs) submitted by the Site Execution Engineer, checking manpower, photos, and progress accuracy before marking them as “Checked” in Wrike.

• Prepare and submit Weekly Progress Reports (WPRs), highlighting achievements, risks, and corrective actions, and share them with the Project Manager and client.
• Identify project risks or potential delays early, document them using the Cause → Effect → Solution (CES) format, and propose proactive solutions.
• Control project budgets by maintaining procurement within BOQ limits, preventing rework or wastage, and negotiating best-value terms with suppliers and subcontractors.
• Uphold professional communication and collaboration among design, procurement, and execution teams to ensure seamless coordination.
• Lead and guide the Site Execution Engineer through clear task assignment, daily follow-up, and continuous performance verification.
• Maintain the Wrike dashboard as the single source of truth for all operational updates, progress tracking, and documentation.
