Key Responsibilities

• Develop and oversee construction methodologies and sequencing strategies, including the design and coordination of temporary and enabling works for both underground and above-ground structures.
• Formulate cost-effective construction approaches and detailed lifting plans for heavy lifts, demonstrating expertise in modular and off-site construction techniques.
• Identify repetitive construction processes and implement optimized methodologies to enhance productivity and achieve project efficiencies.
• Liaise with and support project teams in adopting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) across multiple project sites.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of geotechnical parameters and their impact on temporary works design.
• Propose and coordinate deep excavation solutions, including slope stability assessments and shoring systems.
• Define access arrangements, logistics planning, lifting strategies, temporary works concepts, and construction staging.
• Lead constructability and buildability reviews in collaboration with Design Managers, construction teams, and subcontractors.
• Provide expert construction methodology input for value engineering initiatives and risk mitigation strategies.
• Act as the technical interface between Design, Engineering, BIM, and site execution teams.
• Review design deliverables for constructability and provide Temporary Works Bill of Quantities for planning and budgeting.
• Ensure all construction methodologies comply with HSE requirements, statutory regulations, and company procedures.
• Lead and support risk assessments, lifting studies, and temporary works risk evaluations.
• Embed safety-by-design and safety-by-methodology principles into construction planning.
• Support planning teams in developing practical construction sequences, accurate activity durations, and resource loading.
• Monitor site execution to ensure alignment with approved methodologies and recommend corrective actions.
• Lead, mentor, and develop the Methods Engineering team, Temporary Works Coordinator, and Technical Coordinators.
• Implement consistent engineering and design management practices and foster a culture of constructability and risk awareness.
• Capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement in design delivery and coordination processes.
