• Customer Service: Build trust with property owners, clearly explaining the remediation process and easing their stress during a difficult time.
• Subcontractor Management: Coordinate and schedule subcontractors for small repairs, ensuring their work meets high quality and safety standards.
• Safety & Compliance: Enforce OSHA regulations, environmental protocols, and all company safety standards on the job site.
