- Assist in snagging, de-snagging, and final handover activities.
- Support site teams to ensure execution aligns with approved technical documentation.
- Support the project planning team with technical sequencing, constructability reviews, and programme optimisation.
- Fully comply with and promote the BESIX Safety First culture, prioritising personal and collective safety in all technical decisions, actions, and omissions.
- Respect and enforce Life Saving Rules at all times.
Qualifications
