• Work closely with project management, engineering, procurement, and client representatives to ensure alignment between field activities and overall project objectives.

• Verify that subcontractors are implementing required quality processes, inspections, testing, documentation, and deficiency tracking in accordance with project standards and contract requirements. 
• Conduct regular site inspections and field reviews to confirm compliance with quality standards, design intent, regulatory requirements, and permit conditions, and ensure deficiencies are identified, documented, and addressed in a timely manner. 
• Coordinate with project quality personnel, engineering, and subcontractors to resolve non-conformances, clarify technical requirements, and support corrective actions where needed. 
• Maintain accurate daily reports, site records, progress updates, and field documentation. 
• Review and support completion of quality-related records, including inspection reports, turnover documentation, deficiency lists, and construction completion records. 
• Participate in site coordination meetings, subcontractor meetings, and construction planning sessions. 
• Support workforce planning, construction readiness, site access coordination, and material and equipment flow to maintain continuity of work. 
• Ensure construction work is carried out in accordance with regulatory requirements, site-specific permits, environmental obligations, and company procedures. 
• Build and maintain positive working relationships with the client, subcontractors, project teams, local and Indigenous communities, and other external stakeholders.
