• Lead daily construction planning and execution: assign crews, sequence work, monitor progress, and adjust resources to meet schedules and milestones.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, engineering drawings, welding procedures, pressure test requirements, and industry codes (ASME, API, ANSI as applicable).
• Maintain site safety and enforce HSE policies: conduct toolbox talks, risk assessments, permit-to-work oversight, and ensure subcontractor adherence to safety standards.
• Manage quality control and inspection activities: coordinate NDT, dimensional checks, punch lists, and ensure corrective actions are completed prior to turnover.
