Ensure proper surface preparation, forming, batch ratios, pour rates, cure times, and ambient / substrate temperature control on every grout pour.
Own the complete and accurate grout documentation — batch records, product / lot numbers, temperatures, volumes, pour logs, and QC sign-offs for the turnover package.
Direct and verify precision laser shaft alignment of pumps, gearboxes, motors, fans, and drive trains; verify soft-foot, runout, and final alignment tolerances and record results.

Coordinate rigging, lifting, and equipment-setting activities and confirm they are executed to plan.
Lead daily huddles, JSAs / FLHAs, toolbox talks, and a visible safety-first culture; enforce OCL and site HSE requirements.

Interface with clients and inspectors as the on-site technical and quality lead, and support the PM, project controls, and workface-planning teams.
