Manage punch-list clearance across all facilities. Quality, defects, and non-conformance Own site quality performance; drive resolution of open defects and non-conformances (including HVAC/noise/temperature issues in completed facilities); ensure SV&O (Self-Verification & Oversight) programme and Right-First-Time compliance are maintained per contract quality requirements. HSSE and site standards Maintain HSSE compliance across all site activities; ensure site safety culture holds through the close-out period; address any client HSSE or monitoring concerns that arise. Leadership and staffing Establish and communicate a clear construction leadership structure that meets the client's expectations on middle management strength and leadership continuity. Manage construction team rotations, direct manpower deployment, and ensure adequate supervision levels across all workfronts.
