Job Responsibilities:

• Oversee end-to-end coordination between the construction site, Technical Department and Pre-cast factory to ensure production schedules align with site installation sequences.

• Liaise with the main contractor on site to understand installation requirements, crane lifting plans, access constraints, and sequencing needs.
• Translate site conditions and progress into actionable production and delivery schedules for the precast factory.
• Monitor and track precast component production status, quality control, and readiness against site installation timelines.
• Coordinate delivery logistics (transportation, storage, lifting sequence) to match site installation windows and avoid delays or double-handling.
• Attend site coordination meetings with the main contractor, consultants, and other trades to resolve interface issues (e.g., cast-in items, tolerances, connection details).
