Maintain accurate, current records of drawings, RFIs, submittals, Change Orders, contracts, meeting minutes, daily reports, and field documentation; file documents in the correct project folders. Participate in the weekly Time Impact Analysis (TIA) meeting led by the PM; support the analysis with field data, drawings, and documentation, and help capture findings to support Notice of Change letters and time extension requests.
