The role provides field-based observation, documentation review, and coordination support for transmission line structural steel and foundation inspection/restoration activities. It supports project reporting by documenting site access, field conditions, equipment conditions, work progress, and observed conformance with applicable client-approved procedures, engineering requirements, safety practices, and quality standards. The individual coordinates communication among contractor crews, client representatives, engineering, environmental, access, and project personnel as directed by authorized project leadership. This role is intended to support field visibility, documentation, and escalation of issues identified by contractors.

• Exercise stop-work authority only where expressly permitted by project procedures and only within the limits of that delegated authority.
• Communicate field conditions, progress, concerns, and required actions through approved project communication and documentation channels. Text messaging may be used for time-sensitive coordination only when permitted by project protocol and should be followed by appropriate project documentation when required.
• Travel between assigned crews, transmission lines, substations, and work locations to complete assigned field observation and documentation responsibilities.
• Support pilot program development within the approved scope of work. Any material change in responsibilities, authority, deliverables, duration, or work location should be reviewed and approved through applicable project and client governance processes.
• Support inspection contractors performing lattice tower and foundation inspections.
