- Coordinate SOE systems (soldier piles/lagging, secant/diaphragm walls, sheet piles, tiebacks/soil nails, struts/walers).
- Oversee excavation activities, temporary works, utility protections, and traffic staging.
- Monitor geotechnical instrumentation (extensometers, piezometers, inclinometers, load cells); interpret trends and escalate exceedances.
- Support dewatering plans and groundwater management in accordance with permits and discharge limits.
- Lead ITPs, hold points, trials (e.g., shotcrete panels/cores), material approvals, and field quality records.
- Conduct face mapping, ground classification, and daily reports (advance, support installed, stand-up time, incidents).
Technical Coordination
- Review drawings, models, and method statements; raise RFIs; coordinate shop drawings and temporary works designs.
- Interface with design teams (geotech/structural), survey, and subcontractors to resolve field clashes and constructability issues.
- Validate as-builts, survey control, and settlement/convergence control measures.
- Contribute to risk registers, trigger/action response plans, and mitigation during adverse ground conditions.
Planning & Controls
- Develop short-interval lookahead schedules; align crews, plant, and material logistics to milestones.
- Track production rates (advance per shift, shotcrete volumes, anchors installed)
- Support cost control/changes (quantity tracking, time-impact analysis).
Safety & Compliance
- Enforce OHS requirements, confined space protocols, ventilation, gas testing, dust/noise management, and emergency response readiness.
- Lead/participate in JHAs, toolbox talks, and incident investigations.
- Ensure compliance with permits, environmental constraints, and municipal/rail/transit corridor requirements, as applicable.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS
- Education: B.Eng./B.Sc. in Engineering or related Discipline
