Temporary Works Coordinator
The post holder will be the appointed Temporary Works Co-ordinator for a range of sites involving construction works for our clients, National Grid and Cadent.
You will probably be an experienced Engineer from a Contracting background with a proven track record in the co-ordination and management of temporary works schemes within the construction environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Ensuring that:
All significant items of temporary works are co-ordinated and recorded on the TW Register.
TW Design Briefs are prepared with full consultation, are adequate and in accordance with the actual situation on site.
Temporary works designs are carried out.
TW Design Checks are carried out, including checking for concept, structural adequacy and compliance with the brief.
A completed copy of the Design Check Certificate or similar is available.
Records of drawings, calculations and other relevant documents relating to the final design are kept.
TW designs are made available to interested parties (e.g. Principal Designer, other designers).
There are suitable safe systems of work for the erection, use and dismantling of the TW covering any residual risks prepared for the TW, and that these are communicated to and understood by those involved in the TW.
Those people responsible for the erection of TW receive full details of the design including any limitations or constraints associated with the TW, including any which will affect the stability of the TW during erection, use and dismantling.
TW are inspected during construction, ensuring adequacy of materials.
The requirements for Hold Points are identified on checklists if required.
Hold Points are known by all those involved and that Hold Points are not passed until a Permit is signed by the TWC (including Permit to Load, Unload etc.).
Ground conditions, general site conditions, loadings etc. are as stated on the design brief or the TW design assumptions (and remain so during use).
Where testing is required for ground bearing, pull out tests, runway beams etc. that test records and certificates are produced and retained.
Anyone carrying out fabrication of bespoke temporary works is competent to do so, e.g. by a quality audit of the fabricator, checking welder certification, procedures, etc.
Any changes to the TW are referred back to the TW designer for approval.
Key Skills and Qualifications:
Site based temporary works experience as a TWC.
Ability to exercise engineering judgement.
BSc/BEng in Civil or Structural Engineering.
