Responsibilities:

I. On-site Construction Supervision & Execution

1. Daily Construction Management

• Supervise subcontractors and workers to ensure compliance with drawings and specifications, maintaining proper procedures (e.g., formwork installation, rebar binding, concrete pouring).

• Directly guide workers to resolve technical issues (e.g., material shortages, equipment breakdowns) and coordinate on-site resources.

2. Progress Tracking

• Monitor daily/weekly progress, report risks of delays (e.g., monsoon season halting earthworks) against the main contractor’s schedule.

• Assist engineers or civil managers in adjusting short-term construction sequences to address emergencies (e.g., material delivery delays).

3. Initial Quality Inspection

• Conduct "self-check" and "peer-check" processes, document defects, and ensure corrective actions.

• Support engineers in formal inspections (e.g., concrete slump tests, backfill compaction tests).

II. Safety & Compliance Control

1. On-site Safety Inspections

• Perform daily checks on safety measures (e.g., scaffold stability, temporary electrical compliance, use of safety harnesses for working at heights).

• Ensure adherence to the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA) and the main contractor’s safety manual, halting violations immediately.

2. Subcontractor Safety Management

• Monitor subcontractors’ Toolbox Meetings, verify workers hold valid CIDB Green Cards (safety training certification).

• Report high-risk activities (e.g., deep excavation) to the Safety Officer for documentation.

3. Environmental & Sanitary Compliance

• Manage construction waste sorting (per Environmental Quality Act 1974), control dust and noise pollution.

• Inspect temporary sanitary facilities (e.g., worker toilets, drinking areas) to comply with local authority (PBT) regulations.

III. Resource Coordination & Documentation

1. Material & Equipment Management

• Inspect incoming materials (cross-check delivery notes with orders), verify MS certification labels (e.g., steel bars, cement).

• Coordinate machinery scheduling (e.g., excavators, cranes), log equipment usage time and malfunctions.

2. Labor Management

• Monitor attendance of foreign laborers (commonly from Bangladesh, Indonesia), assist in resolving language barriers.

• Collaborate with the main contractor’s HR department to address worker disputes or misconduct.

3. Documentation

• Complete daily Site Diaries, recording weather, personnel, equipment, issues, and resolutions.

• Organize on-site photos/videos as evidence for quality and safety compliance.

IV. Stakeholder Communication & Reporting

1. Internal Communication

• Report field issues (e.g., design conflicts, subcontractor delays) to the Project Manager/Civil Manager.

• Participate in internal meetings to propose efficiency improvements.

2. External Coordination

• Liaise with Client Representatives or Consultants during routine inspections.

• Accompany government agencies (e.g., CIDB, JKR) during site visits and provide required documents.

V. Emergency Response

• Activate contingency plans (e.g., flooding from heavy rain, worker injuries), control the scene promptly, and escalate incidents.

• Assist in accident investigations and execute corrective orders (e.g., work suspension notices).

Requirements:

• Diploma or above in Civil Engineerng, Construction Management or related fields
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on local site experience, familiar with main contractor-subcontractor workflows.
• Mandatory CIDB Site Supervisor Certification (Green Card).
• Proficiency in basic surveying tools (level meters, measuring tapes) and software (AutoCAD Viewer).
