• Ensure all field and design documentation is processed and stored in ICON’s designated project management systems (Procore, Smartsheets, etc.).
• Support the development and maintenance of project schedules, coordinating design deliverables with construction milestones.
• Assist field teams with interpreting drawings, verifying dimensions, and ensuring that work aligns with design intent.
• Participate in site walks and quality reviews to confirm that design and construction coordination issues are promptly addressed.
