  • Maintain visibility on outstanding site issues, deficiencies, and turnover requirements to support commissioning and project closeout.
• Document Control
  • Manage project documentation including IFC drawings, drawing revisions, submittals, RFIs, inspection records, permits, and turnover documents.
  • Ensure documents are current, properly versioned, stored in the correct location, and distributed to the appropriate project team members.
  • Track approvals, submissions, and outstanding document items related to building permits, ESA requirements, EASR filings, and utility interconnection processes.
  • Maintain document registers and submission logs for utilities, and client stakeholders as applicable.
  • Verify that superseded information is removed from active circulation to reduce installation errors and rework.
• Procurement & Logistics
  • Track procurement status for racking, modules, inverters, transformers, switchgear, and balance of system materials.
  • Coordinate delivery dates, site readiness, unloading requirements, and storage constraints with vendors and site teams.
  • Monitor vendor commitments, shipping updates, material shortages, and flag risks to the Project Manager before they impact the work.
  • Support material reconciliation by tracking delivered quantities, backorders, damaged items, and outstanding supply needs.
• Communication & Reporting
  • Act as a central point for project communication between engineering, procurement, site teams, subcontractors, utilities, and clients.
  • Prepare meeting minutes, maintain action logs, and track follow-up items to completion.
