• Plan and coordinate tie-ins, shutdowns, and bypass pumping with plant operations staff to keep existing facilities running during construction.
• Coordinate leakage testing of liquid-containing structures, pressure testing of piping, and equipment testing, startup, and commissioning.

Scheduling & Documentation:

• Develop and maintain three-week look-ahead schedules, and provide field input to the project CPM schedule managed by the Project Manager.
• Schedule self-perform work, subcontractors, and vendors within the critical path to ensure timely completion.
• Order and schedule material and equipment deliveries.

Quality Control:

• Perform quality control inspections, including pre-pour inspections, and coordinate with special inspectors.
• Identify deficient work and provide resolution, and issue notices of non-compliance to subcontractors regarding quality of work or scheduling.

Safety & Compliance:

• Enforce Prospect Construction, Inc.’s Safety and Health policies and lead weekly safety meetings.
• Oversee high-hazard work, including confined space entry, crane lifts, excavation and shoring, and work in and around operating plants.
