Plant and Equipment
Variations
Valuations
Management of all day-to-day site operations
Ensure Policies and procedures are followed closely.
Management of sub-contractor activities including tracking progress against schedule and manpower levels. Ensuring adequate information flow to ensure works progress and Weekly Meeting logged.
Ensure Works are installed in accordance with Project specifications and to the Project QA plan (for e.g. pre-agreed benchmarking).
Assisting the Installation Package team to manage the quality needs for the project on site, providing guidance to ensure we are compliant to all relevant standards/codes and specifications associated. This will include all site activities associated with validation and handover to the client. Manage the Construction Work Packs process from development, implementation and handover. This will involve activities onsite to support our construction management team.
