Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Planning & Coordination

Review project drawings & specifications related to gypsum work (ceilings, partitions, decorative moldings etc.). Assist in creating work schedules / phasing for gypsum installation, finishing, and inspection. Coordinate among trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finishing, etc.) to ensure that gypsum work doesn't conflict with other work (e.g. ensure services are installed before gypsum is closed up).

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Ensure workmanship meets quality standards (flatness, jointing, tolerance, finish). Inspect gypsum installation at various stages (before taping, finishing, painting) and identify defects (gaps, misalignment, bulging, cracking). Ensure compliance with local building codes, fire ratings, acoustic or thermal performance if applicable.

Budget, Cost Control & Reporting

Track the gypsum work budget; monitor costs, labor and material usage. Process and verify invoices from subcontractors / suppliers for gypsum work. Prepare periodic reports for the manager / client about progress, cost overruns, or risks.

Scheduling & Time Management

Monitor progress of gypsum work vs schedule; flag delays or obstacles. Adjust schedules or resource allocation to keep work on track. Coordinate labour (skilled plasterers, finishers), subcontractors, and ensure hours match scheduling requirements.

Health, Safety & Environment

Ensure safe working practices are followed: scaffolding, lifting boards, dust control, protective equipment etc. Ensure that materials and installations comply with environmental / safety standards (like fire-rated boards, moisture-resistant boards in wet areas). Conduct site safety inspections relevant to gypsum installation.

Communication & Stakeholder Liaison

Communicate with site management, subcontractors, suppliers, architects/inspectors about design changes, issues, or clarifications. Attend coordination meetings; capture meeting minutes; follow up on action items. Liaise with client / consultant for approvals (shop drawings, mock-ups, finish samples).

Documentation & Submittals

Manage submittals: shop drawings, sample boards, finish samples, technical data sheets etc. Maintain a drawings register, change orders, request for information (RFIs), site instructions. Keep all documentation up to date: work logs, daily/weekly progress reports, defect lists, punch lists.

Problem Solving & Change Management

Identify issues arising from design errors, site conditions, materials deficiencies etc. and help resolve them. Manage scope changes: cost impacts, schedule impacts, getting approvals for change orders.

Project Closeout & Handover

Inspect final gypsum work; ensure all defects have been corrected. Prepare closeout documentation: warranties, maintenance instructions, finishes and certifications. Handover completed gypsum portions in alignment with overall project handover.
