Specific responsibilities of the Construction Supervisor include:

Overall view of the role:

• Contributes to Construction Safety by reducing site exposure through modularization, standardization and maximizing off plot construction.
• Contributes in the development of brownfield construction strategies and planning initiatives for project opportunities pre-FID.
• Focusses on addressing and removing hurdles to efficient construction and actively monitor productivity on site, advising (acting on behalf of) the construction manager of ways to improve the productivity metrics.
• Identifies and monitors brownfield construction planning initiatives for approved projects post FID.
• Will input into enhancing the design, contracting strategy and execution planning all in consideration of constructability through input into HSE, cost, schedule and quality.
• Working with the Project Engineer and EPCM Construction Management Team, development of a construction strategy & execution plan including cost & schedule to effectively execute construction deliverables for the project.
• Ability to effectively work on more than one project at a time.
• Oversee all piping installation activities on-site, ensuring compliance with project specifications, codes, and standards.
• Monitor piping fabrication, welding, and hydrotesting activities, assuring all work is performed according to quality and safety requirements.
• Coordinate material take-offs and verification for piping works, ensuring timely delivery and proper storage of piping materials, spools, and fittings.
• Resolve piping-related design and construction issues by coordinating with engineering and procurement teams, addressing unforeseen site conditions promptly.
• Review piping isometric and layout drawings for constructability, identify potential clashes or access issues, and suggest practical solutions.

Accountabilities/Expectations:

• Coordinate with Project Engineer and EPCM Construction Management Team to bring a coordinated approach to the overall project scope, quality, cost and schedule expectations.
• Ensure that planning of the project deliverables from Engineering and Contracts & Procurement is in line with the construction sequence and further to the hand over sequence.
• Ensures designs make optimal use of cold work, modularization and off plots construction to minimize HSSE exposure on site.
• Assure that the final design has provided an appropriate construction risk assessment versus economic benefit via definition, timing and facilitation of the Constructability Review(s).
• Ensure strict adherence to piping & mechanical codes as well as project-specific specifications for all site-erected piping & mechanical systems.
• Supervise contractors on piping & mechanical work packages to maintain productivity and safe work practices throughout the project duration.
