- Maintain an outstanding docket register and actively follow up on unresolved items.
- Liaise with site teams and suppliers to obtain missing delivery dockets, supporting documentation, and other required records.
- Ensure project documentation is complete, accurate, properly organized, and accessible to relevant stakeholders.
- Provide Project Managers, Engineers, and Site Supervisors with accurate supplier, labor, plant, and project cost information.
- Maintain strong data integrity across project records and proactively identify issues before they create downstream rework.
- Consistently meet processing deadlines while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and attention to detail.
