• Coordinate with all parties involved in the design and construction of temporary works to deliver safe technical solutions.
• Liaise with clients to determine if schemes may affect the public and to ascertain approval process and certification required.
• Prepare/review the design brief for adequacy and completeness prior to issue to Temporary Works Design and ensure the designer complies with the brief and adequately describes residual risks.

• Carry out technical, quality and compliance audit inspections of Temporary Works prior to loading and unloading, to ensure only competent personnel are carrying out on‑site duties (e.g. TWS) and the project follows applicable standards and practices with respect to Temporary Works requirements.
