• Monitor manpower, construction equipment, materials, productivity, and daily site activities.
• Coordinate with Site Engineers, Surveyors, QA/QC teams, HSE personnel, subcontractors, and other project disciplines.
• Supervise earthworks including site clearing, excavation, filling, grading, embankment, backfilling, and soil compaction.
• Monitor the construction of approach roads, internal roads, bunds, drains, culverts, and related infrastructure.
• Verify formation levels, slopes, widths, alignment, and other site measurements in coordination with the Surveyor.
• Supervise the construction of irrigation canals, intake structures, screen chambers, reservoirs, drainage systems, pipelines, and related water infrastructure.
• Monitor excavation, bedding, reinforcement, formwork, concrete works, masonry, waterproofing, and lining works.
• Ensure correct levels, gradients, dimensions, and hydraulic profiles for irrigation and water infrastructure.
• Supervise reservoir lining systems, including clay lining and geomembrane lining where applicable.
• Supervise reinforced concrete works, including reinforcement fixing, formwork, concreting, vibration, finishing, and curing.
• Inspect reinforcement spacing, lap lengths, anchorage, cover, positioning, and formwork stability before concrete placement.
• Coordinate concrete cube testing and other required inspections.
• Supervise building works including foundations, columns, beams, slabs, masonry, plastering, flooring, roofing, waterproofing, and external works.
• Coordinate civil construction activities with structural, mechanical, electrical, and other disciplines.
• Coordinate with Surveyors for setting out and verify levels, coordinates, alignment, dimensions, slopes, and elevations before construction begins.
• Inspect workmanship and ensure materials used on site comply with approved specifications and quality requirements.
• Identify defective or non-conforming work and coordinate corrective actions with QA/QC personnel.
• Enforce site HSE requirements, including appropriate PPE and safe practices for excavation, lifting, concreting, working at height, and equipment operations.
• Stop unsafe work where necessary and immediately report significant safety concerns to the responsible Engineer or HSE personnel.
• Monitor daily construction progress against the approved project programme.
• Maintain accurate daily records covering manpower, equipment, materials, completed work quantities, concrete pours, excavation/filling quantities, delays, and site challenges.
• Report project progress, operational constraints, and site issues to the Irrigation Manager.
• Ensure required construction materials are available before commencement of scheduled activities.
• Monitor proper storage and handling of cement, reinforcement, aggregates, pipes, blocks, formwork materials, and other construction materials.
• Monitor equipment utilization and help minimize idle time, material wastage, and unnecessary project delays.
