As a member of the project management team, you have the opportunity to influence safety culture onsite by demonstrating personal commitment, setting clear expectations, and effectively communicating safety policies. By consistently modelling safe behaviour, prioritising safety above productivity, and ensuring that all workers receive proper training and resources, you can foster an environment where safety is ingrained in every aspect of the construction process. Encouraging open communication, recognising and rewarding safe behaviour, and conducting regular inspections further reinforce the importance of safety. By taking these steps, you can help create a culture where safety is a shared value and a top priority for all stakeholders involved in the project.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and manage a detailed commissioning plan, including timelines, resources, and deliverables.

• Conduct regular inspections and tests to ensure all MEP systems meet design specifications, safety codes, and quality standards.

• Maintain comprehensive documentation of all commissioning activities, including test results, compliance reports, and system certifications.

• Identify and resolve any commissioning-related issues, ensuring that the project stays on schedule and within budget.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for the client during the commissioning phase, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns.

• Ensure all commissioning activities comply with local regulations, safety standards, and environmental guidelines.

• Proactively suggest improvements to commissioning processes, workflows, and best practices.
