● Risk and issue communication — identifying and promptly communicating schedule risks, delivery issues, quality or damage concerns, nonconforming material, and operational constraints to the client and the GC, with recommended mitigations.

● Safety and equipment stewardship — enforcing a strong safety culture and ensuring OFCI equipment and packaging condition are preserved throughout custody, consistent with the highest standard of care.

● Staffing and operational continuity — maintaining appropriate staffing levels, adjusting resources as workload fluctuates, and ensuring qualified personnel and specialized equipment are mobilized within the timeframes required to meet service levels.
