Technical administration: manage submittals/samples, trackers for plant/kit, O&M data capture, and closure of technical queries.
*
Health & Safety: RAMS reviews, permits (hot works/WAH), daily briefings/TBTs, housekeeping in congested voids/risers, and area sign-offs before ceiling closures.
*
Commissioning management: author and drive the Cx plan; coordinate flushing/chemical cleans, pre-commissioning checks, TAB, BMS IO, alarms/graphics, and client witnessing to PC.
