- Allocating and transferring employees between projects
- Matching personnel to projects based on experience, skill level, certifications, location, workload, and crew balance
- Reviewing weekly manpower forecasts with Project Managers and General Foremen
- Ensuring manpower plans remain within project labor budgets

- Labor budgets and cost codes
- Manpower forecasting and workforce planning
- Construction schedules, project phasing, milestones, and mobilizations
