  • Coordinate material deliveries, equipment staging, and logistics with Procurement and Site Logistics teams.

Safety Leadership

  • Champion a strong safety culture and ensure full compliance with OSHA, site-specific safety plans, and EPC safety policies.
  • Lead daily job hazard analyses (JHAs), toolbox talks, and site safety meetings.
  • Ensure proper training, PPE usage, and enforcement of safety rules across all site personnel.
  • Participate in incident investigations and implement corrective and preventive actions.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

  • Ensure construction work meets approved drawings, specifications, codes, and quality standards.
  • Coordinate inspections, testing, and quality audits with internal QA/QC teams and third parties.
  • Oversee punch list resolution and ensure timely closeout of quality issues.
  • Support as-built documentation, turnover packages, and project closeout activities.

Coordination & Communication

  • Work closely with Engineering to resolve RFIs, field design issues, and constructability challenges.
  • Coordinate with Project Management on progress updates, risks, forecasts, and client communications.
  • Support commissioning and energization activities, including turnover of systems and subsystems.
  • Maintain clear, professional communication with all stakeholders.
