As a Graduate Engineer, my responsibility is supporting the project manager to ensure the safe delivery of projects on time and under budget.
Main key points include:
1.Planning and programming.
2.Sub-contractor Management.
3.Safety, Quality and Environmental Management.
Currently, I am a Leading Hand on one of Winslow's jobs. My day to day activities focus on the organisation and facilitation of site activities in conjunction with my foreman.
Working closely with my Forman is a great opportunity to learn how to get the most out of a job by ensuring organisation and resource management. This includes working with engineers and project managers to ensure a productive project.
This on site experience is intangible in setting my career up to become an engineer, which I am currently completing my Bachelors for.
Currently I am a KPI engineer in Winslow constructers. Usually the first half of my day requires me to be on site, track the progression of different activities carried out.
Then on the second half of my day, i need to report on the progression to the project team, also prepare fortnightly/ monthly KPI reports to allow the project team to have an overview of how the business is going.
Day to day is labouring as well as assisting the foreman
Most of the time I am given enough work to complete during the day and am able to complete all of it, there are some moments that are very busy and stressful.
Planning, Executing, Dealing with subcontractors, Design issues, daily reporting and cost planning.
Track KPI's on a daily basis by going to site and tracking works that have been completed. Then lodging my findings into the database so engineers can see how the activities on their job are going.
Performed all civil construction laborer duties including erecting and dismantling barricades, signage, and lights on construction sites, digging holes, and preparing sites for installation of pipe networks.
I support the Project Managers to ensure jobs are profitable and run on time. A lot of scheduling and organizing.
My role entails overseeing construction projects from planning to completion. I manage material procurement, supervise construction activities, and ensure quality and safety compliance. Cost control and budget management are crucial, as is thorough documentation and regular reporting to clients. Problem-solving and environmental considerations are key aspects of my job. Ultimately, I ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and meet quality standards while adhering to safety and environmental regulations.
