Coordinate the Field Engineers inputs (inspection and test plan, work steps and sketches, materials and test equipment).
Maintain the release readiness checklist by listing every open RFI, constraint, and prerequisite and following each to resolution, so packages reach the Construction Manager ready for release.
Sign as preparer when package contents are complete. Brief the Constructor on scope and limits, Hold Points, safety requirements, and the Completion Package, and file the released CWP through the projects approved records process.
Check each released CWP against current ATOM revisions at least weekly. When a document or Field Change affects a package, notify the Constructor and Field Engineer to hold the affected work, and prepare and issue the CWP revision.
Review the Completion Package, support field walkdowns and acceptance, confirm Punch List and record closure, and close out and file the completed CWP.
Work with Project Controls on package sequence and schedule. Identify documents that must be issued or revised to support upcoming packages, and communicate need-by dates to Site Design Engineering and the Engineering Integration team.
Track package development status and readiness in the projects work package tools (e.g., Confluence, Jira) while keeping controlled records in ATOM and EDMS. Maintain open-item logs and raise emerging constraints early to the Construction Manager, Field Engineer, and Engineering Integration Manager.
Stay within the roles boundaries: route technical questions about the design through the RFI process and changes to IFC content through the Field Change process, give no design direction, and do not sign more than one of the Planner, Field Engineer, and Construction Manager blocks on the same CWP.
Follow all site safety requirements and report unsafe conditions promptly.
