The project
Two separate projects under the same sustainable ports programme need the same technical support. On São Vicente, a shipyard is being rehabilitated. On Santo Antão, a port is being extended and modernized under a design-and-build contract, with maritime structures, associated civil works and terminal facilities. One position covers both sites. The local team is looking for support to follow the execution, spot discrepancies with the drawings and prepare decisions before handover.
Your role
- Review the execution drawings for the maritime structures, the shipyard facilities and the associated civil works.
- Prepare and run site visits on both sites with the local teams, with trips between the two islands.
- Check agreed technical points on site and document discrepancies.
- Discuss corrections with the contractor and flag to the project manager the points that need a decision.
- Check compliance with the funder’s environmental and social requirements.
- Write the site visit reports and prepare the steps before handover.
Your profile
You have followed port, maritime or large civil engineering works. You can read execution drawings, explain a discrepancy between the drawings and the site, and propose a correction with the team on site. You are comfortable following two sites in parallel.
