Works

Project director

Reporting to the sector director, project directors oversee their project’s on-budget, on-schedule, and on-specifications performance as set out by the client. They define, mobilise, and coordinate the resources needed to carry out their mandate, providing support to production teams from a range of departments, including administration and finance, contracts, technical, equipment, and quality, occupational health and safety, and the environment. They ensure that corporate policy (quality, safety, human resources, and more) is applied appropriately and they monitor budgets. They stay tuned to the client’s needs.

Works manager/director

Reporting to the project director, works managers and works directors oversee the implementation of works in accordance with schedules, budgets, and quality and safety criteria defined by the client or the project director. They define, mobilise, and coordinate the human and material resources needed to carry out their mandate, with support from assigned personnel from a range of departments, including technical, equipment, quality, occupational health and safety, and environmental, contracts, administration and finance. They apply the company’s general policies, in particular with respect to quality and safety.

Works engineer and works supervisor

Reporting to the works director, works engineers and works supervisors oversee worksite organisation, implementation, and coordination. They implement the resources required to achieve the project in compliance with scheduling, cost, quality, and safety requirements (budget, methods, labour, and site preparation). They also oversee compliance with work plans and execution quality standards. They are responsible for defining and ensuring compliance with prevention and safety rules for their projects. In addition, they must build and sustain relationships with external partners (clients’ representatives, suppliers, subcontractors) and internal partners (foremen, managers, design departments).
