Job Description

The Construction Technical Office (CTO) is a department within the Design Team of the Contractor that becomes active once the IFC documentation has been issued and construction activities are in full swing.

The CTO Team serves as a bridge between our Construction Team and our Designers, addressing any design-related issues that arise during the Construction Phase of the Project until Construction Completion is achieved.

The successful candidate will join the CTO Team and, reporting to the CTO Manager, will:

Work closely with the Construction Team to coordinate with our Designers on any design changes and issues that inevitably occur during construction, related to the structural design. These issues will be related to the IFC documentation and will be in the form of Requests For Information (RFI), Field Change Requests (FCR), Non-Conformances (NCR), Notices of Design Change (NDC), etc.
Attend, organize, or lead regular and ad-hoc meetings focused on structural questions with the Construction Team and the Designers.
Track the performance of the Designers in terms of their responses to RFI, FCR, NDC, NCR, etc., for the structural topics as well as their review of shop drawings, evaluating potential impacts on the Construction Schedule.
Prepare, regularly update, and track the schedule of shop drawings and other design submittals reviewed by our Designers.
Review, in accordance with the Project Specifications and local standards, and with the support of the Discipline Lead Managers, shop drawings related to the structure prepared by our Subcontractor’s Designers. The review of shop drawings shall cover constructability, comparison with the IFC Design, and the analysis of potential interfaces with other designers (e.g., temporary works designers).
Prepare and distribute to all parties any redlines and IFC drawing markups arising from RFI, FCR, NDC, etc., on a regular basis. These redlines and markups will form part of the as-built documentation required for the Record Drawings.
Participate in the coordination and resolution of design-related issues between different departments such as our Construction Team, Means and Methods Team, Quality Team, and other teams within the Design Team (Architecture, MEP, Traffic), addressing any potential conflicts in the most beneficial way for the project as a whole.
Provide all necessary inputs to track the Designer’s cost (ESDC, Engineering Services During Construction), based on the Time and Material invoices received during construction.
Regularly visit relevant construction sites as required.
Attend meetings with our Client and their Technical Advisor as required.
Perform other duties as applicable.
