• Manage day-to-day site operations for architectural work, ensuring all tasks are executed according to schedule and within budget.
• Supervise the construction and installation of architectural elements such as walls, ceilings, finishes, cladding, glazing, and interior features.
• Review architectural drawings and specifications to ensure accurate implementation of the design on-site.
• Resolve any discrepancies between design documents and field conditions, proposing solutions to maintain project continuity.
• Monitor the quality of architectural work to ensure it meets the project’s design, specifications, and applicable standards (e.g., building codes, accessibility standards).
• Inspect work on-site regularly to identify any issues or deviations from plans and rectify them in coordination with the project team.
• Ensure all materials used for architectural work meet the required quality standards and project specifications.
• Act as the key point of contact for architectural issues on-site, coordinating with project managers, contractors, subcontractors, and other engineering disciplines.
• Attend regular project meetings to discuss the progress of architectural work, resolve challenges, and update the team on any schedule adjustments.
• Collaborate with other disciplines, such as structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and special systems, to ensure smooth integration of architectural components with other systems.
• Identify and troubleshoot issues related to architectural construction, such as design discrepancies, material issues, or scheduling conflicts.
• Work with the design and project management teams to find effective solutions, ensuring minimal delays and cost overruns.
• Address any technical concerns related to the design implementation and provide practical, timely solutions.
• Ensure that all architectural work on-site adheres to safety standards and regulations.
• Promote a culture of safety by conducting regular safety inspections, briefings, and ensuring workers follow proper safety protocols.
• Report any safety hazards or non-compliance to the appropriate authorities and take corrective actions promptly.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of on-site activities, including daily reports, inspection logs, and meeting minutes.
• Prepare and submit regular progress reports related to architectural work, detailing milestones, challenges, and any changes to the scope of work.
• Ensure that as-built drawings are created and updated as the project progresses, reflecting any changes made during construction.
• Mentor junior field engineers and architectural staff, providing guidance on construction techniques, quality control, and safety practices.
• Ensure that team members are trained on relevant construction standards, project documentation, and technical specifications.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement by sharing knowledge and best practices with the team.
