• Validate BOQs & deliverables, certify progress measurements, and recommend payment milestones based on measurable completion
• Enforce SLA/OLA terms; track KPIs; issue corrective action plans for slippages
• Coordinate with internal teams (Marine, IP/Transport, Facilities, Security, Legal, Finance, HCM/TA) and external parties (regulators, utilities, landlords, community reps)
• Support community engagement protocols and local liaison requirements; ensure security and site access are continuously maintained
• Maintain as‑built documentation, test records, redlines, spares lists, serial numbers, warranties, and O&M manuals
• Lead site acceptance and structured handover to operations, including maintenance playbooks, contact matrices, and spares custody
