• Ensure work is executed in accordance with IFC drawings, specifications, ITPs and approved methodologies

• Coordinate work fronts, access, sequencing and shared resources across disciplines

• Monitor progress against schedule and manage field‑based risks and constraints

• Resolve construction issues in collaboration with engineering, quality and planning teams

Contractor & Interface Management:

• Act as the primary field interface between the Owner, EPCM and construction contractors

• Provide clear direction on priorities, scope and execution expectations

• Monitor and manage contractor performance across safety, quality and schedule

• Coordinate interfaces between disciplines, contractors and work fronts

Quality, Planning & Handover:
