This position is eligible for remote work opportunities.
Civil Works Oversight- Provide on-site technical supervision for installation of foundations, reinforced concrete silos (slip form and shotcrete relining), retaining walls, and other concrete structures.
- Verify compliance of structural works engineered drawings and specifications. Be able to interpret, understand, and react to codes, standards, and engineering notes.
- Monitor concrete quality, formwork cycles, reinforcement placement, embed installation, and slip-form operational parameters.
- Review and validate contractor daily reports, progress measurements, and construction records.
- Support resolution of site technical issues through coordination with engineering, project management, and contractors.
- Coordinate field activities with ongoing plant operations to minimize disruptions.
- Conduct daily field inspections and ensure adherence to QA/QC requirements for concrete, steel reinforcement, foundations, and structural works. Ability to understand test reports for slump, density, compressive strength, and other critical tests is required.
- Verify contractor compliance with construction methodologies, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality documentation.
- Oversee and document inspections for formwork, rebar, foundations, lifts, and concrete pours.
- Identify non-conformities, support root-cause evaluation, and follow up on corrective actions.
- Monitor subcontractor activity and ensure proper sequencing and interface coordination.
