- Track permits and inspections with the City of Vancouver and other municipalities
- Maintain site safety documentation and WorkSafeBC paperwork alongside the site team
- Assemble closeout packages including deficiency lists, warranties, and O&M manuals
- Keep project files, drawings, and logs organized and current
