Key duties and responsibilities:

• Supervise construction activities at project sites to ensure strict adherence to approved drawings, technical specifications, and quality standards.
• Verify and certify contractor measurements for interim and final payments by maintaining accurate Measurement Books and abstract sheets.
• Review and approve contractor work schedules, material submittals, and method statements for compliance with project timelines and standards.
