Oversee construction of the plant s mechanical elements, including piles, trackers and metal structures, modules, fences, tower erection, and the mechanical assembly of HV and MV equipment. Review contractor construction documentation, including method statements, and obtain engineering support and approval when required. Support the Quality team in reviewing material and component specifications and datasheets. Plan and lead pre-construction meetings with subcontractors, ensuring site activities begin only after requirements and working methods have been agreed. Monitor contractors daily physical progress, evaluate completion forecasts with the Planning team, and request action or recovery plans when needed. Support quantity-surveillance activities and the administration of measurable contracts where applicable. Coordinate technical queries from suppliers and facilitate discussion and resolution with the Lead Engineer and Civil Engineer. Ensure construction is carried out using the latest approved drawings, manuals, and specifications, and verify that red-line documentation is current and signed. Coordinate with site quality inspectors on critical activities, random inspections, audits, witness points, and hold points.
