Manage variation orders, change requests, and their impact on both production and site schedule.

Prepare progress reports, production status updates, and installation forecasts for management.

Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards during production and on-site handling/installation if required.

Competencies and Skills Required:

Strong understanding of precast component design, manufacturing processes, and structural applications (columns,beams, slabs, walls, staircases, facades, PBU & PPVC.)

Familiarity with site construction sequences, crane lifting operations, and erection methodologies for precast elements.

Ability to read and interpret structural/shop drawings and specifications.

Good knowledge of relevant building codes, safety regulations, and quality standards (e.g., BCA requirements in Singapore).
