- Provide on-site technical guidance to contractors and construction teams
- Ensure full compliance with UK nuclear regulations, CDM requirements, and project QA/QC standards
- Actively promote a strong HSE culture, identifying risks and driving mitigation measures
- Monitor construction progress, report on performance, and proactively address schedule risks
- Resolve technical and construction issues such as clashes, tolerances, or material constraints
- Coordinate with subcontractors, client representatives, and multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Support testing, pressure testing, flushing, and pre-commissioning activities
