Key Responsibilities

Design Review and Technical Coordination

The Site Technical Coordinator shall review and interpret all issued-for-construction drawings, specifications, schedules, material submittals, shop drawings, and method statements. The role shall compare architectural, interior design, structural, MEP, façade, fire and life-safety, and specialist packages to identify clashes, omissions, constructability risks, and inconsistencies.

The coordinator shall maintain a clear record of design comments, drawing revisions, technical queries, and coordination actions. Before work proceeds, the coordinator shall ensure that the relevant drawings and technical information are current, coordinated, approved, and understood by the parties executing the works.

Liaison Between Design and Site Teams

The role shall serve as the daily technical interface between the architect and design consultants on one side, and the project delivery team on the other. This includes communicating site conditions, installation constraints, sequencing requirements, dimensional conflicts, and construction feedback to the design team in a clear and timely manner.

The Site Technical Coordinator shall translate approved design intent into practical on-site guidance without making unauthorized design changes. When clarification is required, the coordinator shall prepare and track Requests for Information (RFIs), technical submissions, samples, and proposals, and shall follow up until an approved resolution is issued and communicated to the responsible teams.

Shop Drawings, Submittals, and Materials

The coordinator shall review contractor and subcontractor shop drawings, coordination drawings, material submittals, samples, mock-ups, and technical data against the approved design documents. The role shall verify dimensions, interfaces, finishes, levels, tolerances, access requirements, maintenance considerations, and coordination with MEP services before submitting items for consultant review.

The coordinator shall track the status of all technical submissions and highlight delayed approvals, missing information, or procurement risks that may affect site progress. Particular attention shall be given to renovation-related constraints, including existing-condition verification, concealed services, protection of retained elements, and interface works.

Site Inspections and Quality Support

The Site Technical Coordinator shall conduct regular site inspections to verify that the works are being carried out in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, mock-ups, samples, and agreed construction details. The role shall promptly report deviations, workmanship concerns, and coordination issues to the Project Manager and relevant contractors.

Working closely with QA/QC personnel and site engineers, the coordinator shall support inspection requests, snagging and de-snagging, technical close-out, and the compilation of as-built information. The coordinator shall help preserve the required standard of architectural and interior finishes throughout all stages of construction.

Meetings, Documentation, and Reporting

The role shall attend and contribute to technical coordination meetings, design review meetings, site walks, and progress meetings. The coordinator shall prepare concise agendas, action trackers, technical logs, and meeting records where assigned, ensuring that responsibilities and target dates are clearly recorded.

The coordinator shall maintain an orderly project record of drawings, specifications, approvals, RFIs, site instructions, shop d
