• Ensure compliance with CDM duties for design, coordination, and risk management; feed critical info to the Principal Designer and H&S File.
• Conduct site inspections, escalating hazards and blocking work if controls aren’t in place.

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain: TW Register, design briefs, design/check certificates, TWS briefings, inspection records, permits, RFI logs, NCRs, handover/strike certificates, and as‑built records.
• Provide weekly status to PM: critical TW on path, upcoming hold points, design deliverables, resource pressures, and risks/opportunities.
