Coordinate with the ARE/RE, Contractor, QA/QC Team, Material Engineer, Surveyor, and other discipline inspectors. Monitor interfaces and clearances with sewerage, stormwater, irrigation, roads, and dry utility networks. Ensure compliance with HSE requirements, particularly for excavations, lifting operations, pressure testing, tie-ins, and confined-space activities.
