Maintain close coordination between the technical office, project management, site teams, and procurement to align approved drawings and materials with construction requirements and project schedules.
Maintain drawing registers, revision control, submission schedules, and approval tracking, ensuring site teams use the latest approved documents.
Attend technical coordination meetings, document decisions, follow up on actions, and develop practical solutions for site issues.
