Key Responsibilities 1. Operations & Multi-Site Management • Drive daily operational execution across all assigned site projects to ensure milestones, structural timelines, and quality standards are met. • Manage project site managers, engineers, and superintendents, serving as the senior escalation point for operational bottlenecks. • Establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) for site logistics, material staging, concrete pours, and formwork cycles. 2. Strategic Manpower Planning & Recruitment • Formulate comprehensive manpower allocation strategies based on multi-site project schedules and peak structural demands. • Lead the recruitment, vetting, and onboarding of key operational personnel, site engineers, foremen, and skilled sub-tier labor/crews. • Monitor productivity metrics (e.g., cubic meters poured per man-hour, ton of rebar tied per day) and adjust crew sizing dynamically. 3. Rebar Scheduling & Material Logistics • Oversee the end-to-end rebar management workflow, from schedule generation and cut-and-bend (C&B) lists to site delivery and placement. • Coordinate closely with rebar fabrication yards/suppliers to align deliveries with crane availability and poured structural sequences. • Monitor rebar tonnage usage, minimizing scrap rates and material waste on site. 4. Technical, Drawings & Quality Assurance • Review and approve structural shop drawings, rebar detail drawings, and method statements prior to submission to Main Contractors/Consultants. • Resolve complex structural design issues, constructability clashes, and technical RFIs (Requests for Information). • Ensure strict adherence to inspection schedules (e.g., pre-pour formwork, rebar inspection, cube testing) to maintain concrete quality and structural compliance. 5. Cost Control & Financial Management • Full P&L responsibility for assigned RC structural projects. • Monitor project budgets, track labor costs, material usage, and equipment/plant rentals across all sites. • Manage progress billings, variation orders (VOs), claims, and sub-tier subcontractor payments in alignment with main contract conditions. 6.
