• Coordinate with third-party temporary works designers to ensure designs are delivered on time and align with constructability requirements; review and technically challenge temporary works designs (falsework shoring formwork temporary bridges slope stability crane pads and similar) to verify assumptions load paths sequences and materials are appropriate and safe.
• Confirm that temporary works packages include all required documentation including calculations drawings design risk assessments installation requirements and inspection instructions.
• Provide constructability and technical input on erection procedures planned construction and demolition sequences and method statements identifying technical risks and proposing mitigations.
• Support the planning and coordination of heavy lift operations including site logistics equipment selection and review of rigging and hoisting plans prepared by specialist sub-consultants.
• Provide day-to-day technical support to construction supervisors forepersons and site engineers across multiple CJV sites; attend sites regularly to review conditions and verify conformance with design intent.
