Certain Advantage are recruiting on behalf of our global engineering client for a Field Engineer to join them in supporting the delivery of a major new build construction project in Somerset.
As a Field Engineer, you'll be responsible for the surveillance of quality compliance within the designated section of the Works in accordance with surveillance strategy requirements.
You will report to the Construction Superintendent for day-to-day guidance and will input into site-wide management issues. A high level of interaction and coordination with other operational members of the site-wide team will be required.
In addition to reporting and liaising responsibilities, the Field Engineer will be required to adhere to (and suggest enhancements and improvements to) company policies, procedures, and protocols for construction, health & safety, and other functions.
Key responsibilities will be:
* Check the Works are constructed in accordance with the contract and notify the Construction Superintendent of non-conformance request requirements.
* Submit details of any non-conformance request requirements to assist in the issuing of non-conformance reports.
* Proactively communicate with other site teams, maintain good communication links, and ensure surveillance is timely reported.
* Contribute surveillance information to support KPI indicators.
* Endeavour to identify potential Quality issues before they arise to enable mitigating actions.
* Support team instructions to take temporary measures to mitigate and keep works safe and within Quality standards. Follow up by taking appropriate and proportionate action (e.g. issue communications, call meetings) to prevent the halt of works.
* Ensure design decisions are not taken 'in the field', but are considered and approved via a formal process.
* Enhance the team with a good perspective of current and future site activities.
* Ensure tasks are developed to quality in accordance with the company's requirement for health, safety, and environment.
* Develop and maintain an understanding of construction drawings, construction activities, Quality Control Plans, and Quality Inspection Records.
* Ensure and monitor that Quality Inspection Records are taken and agreed before Works are covered up.
* Review Contractor performance against the authorised Quality Control Plan.
