• Review and witness utility testing activities including pressure testing, leakage testing, flushing, disinfection, CCTV inspection, flow testing, and other applicable tests.
• Review testing and commissioning procedures and verify test results.
• Coordinate with relevant authorities and utility service providers for connections, inspections, approvals, and technical requirements.
• Support coordination with existing utility owners and stakeholders to avoid disruption to operational services.
• Review and resolve RFIs, technical queries, design clarifications, and site engineering issues.
• Assess proposed design changes, technical alternatives, and deviations and provide engineering recommendations.
• Identify utility conflicts, constructability issues, capacity constraints, and technical risks and recommend mitigation measures.
• Support preparation and review of Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) for utility works.
• Coordinate with Quality teams regarding inspections, testing, NCRs, and corrective actions.
• Review and support closure of utility-related NCRs, punch-list items, and outstanding works.
• Coordinate utility works with roadworks, earthworks, structures, buildings, airfield pavements, and other infrastructure packages.
• Ensure appropriate protection of existing utilities during construction.
• Support utility diversion and relocation works where required.
• Review temporary utility arrangements and interfaces where applicable.
• Participate in technical coordination meetings with contractors, consultants, authorities, and project stakeholders.
• Monitor technical progress and identify engineering issues that may impact construction schedules.
• Support preparation of technical reports, progress updates, and engineering status reports.
• Review and verify as-built drawings, survey records, test certificates, commissioning records, O&M manuals, and handover documentation.
• Support final inspection, testing, commissioning, and handover of utility networks.
• Ensure infrastructure and utility works comply with applicable Saudi Building Code, AWWA, ASTM, ASME, BS, EN, NFPA, utility authority standards, and project-specific requirements, as applicable.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and site teams.
• Support continuous improvement and lessons-learned activities related to infrastructure and utility delivery.
