Ensure that the correct survey equipment is used and maintained, with proper checks and logging carried out by the Site Engineers. Guide the Site Engineers on the capabilities and limitations of survey equipment, ensuring appropriate selection for upcoming tasks. Where applicable, arrange additional training for individuals – through the Engineering Director. Monitor and plan as-built surveys, ensuring that they respond to project specifications and any emerging technical risks. – Ensure As-builts are being completed on time Interpret as-built surveys, promptly raising any non-compliance issues with the Project Engineer or design team. – Provide proposals and recommendations for resolving any non-conformances. 3. Quality Management: Develop and implement Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) that meet the project specifications, contractual requirements, and comply with Statom's Quality Management System. Ensure that ITPs, Task Briefing Sheets, and Method Statements are suitably briefed to the project team, they are adhered to and quality assurance documentation is produced to the required standard. Monitor and report on subcontractor performance, ensuring their quality control and implementation complies with Statom’s standards. Identify and manage non-conformances, raising Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and leading efforts to close them out with agreed mitigations. Promote learning with others to ensure issues are not repeated elsewhere. 4. Materials Management: Understand and ensure compliance with the Material Approvals process, ensuring materials meet specifications and employer’s requirements. Make the site and assistant engineers aware of the requirements. Manage long-lead item procurement and ensure materials are ordered in a timely manner to meet the project schedule. Monitor material wastage and implement controls to minimise excess material usage. Perform material take-offs from drawings and site measures, ensuring accurate material records. Oversee the material testing regime, ensuring tests are conducted and recorded in line with project specifications. Consider sustainable material use and take measures where appropriate to minimise embodied carbon. 5. Construction Methods and Innovation: Maintain expertise in a wide range of construction methods, effectively communicating methodologies to the site team. Develop and learn from the wider project team. Propose value engineering solutions, suggesting alternative methods, materials, and practices to enhance project delivery. Implement knowledge and lessons learned from previous projects to improve current practices. Ensure that design information is accurately translated into practical instructions for the site team. 6. Design Process and Information Management: Ensure that there is a suitable Design Responsibility Matrix and Information release schedule in place for the project. Understand it, make sure it is in line with the contract and fit for purpose – otherwise raise with the Project Manager Assist in the management of the design process (alongside the Project Engineer/Project Manager), ensuring that design information (drawings, specifications, employer’s requirements) is available, accurate, and clear. Ensure they are stored in a controlled way (Preferably digital document management system), that latest information is for construction and is being used on site. Track receipt of design information against the IRS. Raise Technical Queries (TQs) and Requests for Information (RFIs) when required, escalating issues of missing or conflicting information to the Project Engineer or Project Manager. Understand the Contractor Design responsibilities and collaborate with specialist designers to fulfill the Contractor Design Portion items. Ensure compliance with third-party approvals and regulatory requirements such as Network Rail, Thames Water, UKPN, etc. – Allow sufficient time for this process. Highlight and manage design changes, ensuring timely updates to all stakeholders. 7. Temporary Works and Lifting Operations: Assist in the management of the Temporary Works process (working closely with the TWC and Project Engineer), ensuring appropriate selection, design, and implementation of temporary structures. Allow sufficient time for design and procurement of Temporary Works. Fulfill the role of Temporary Works Supervisor (TWS) and potentially Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC), ensuring all temporary works are documented and tracked. – Only by appointment and with suitable, knowledge, training and experience to ensure competency. Contribute to the planning of lifting operations, ensuring the Lift Plan is followed and assist the Appointed Person in managing lifting activities. Ensure lifting operations are conducted safely and comply with statutory regulations, by assisting the suitably qualified Appointed Person. 8. Sustainable Development: Contribute to the development of sustainable solutions, identifying opportunities for carbon efficiencies in project delivery. Ensure that contractual sustainability requirements are met and promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Be aware of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and implement these where applicable. 9. Safety & Environmental Management: Ensure that construction phase plans and environmental management plans are adhered to, maintaining a focus on safety and environmental compliance.
