• Inspect welding, bolting, pipe fit-up, leak testing, and pressure testing where applicable.

• Ensure use of approved materials, correct torque tools, and proper installation procedures.

• Maintain and track NCRs, punch lists, and corrective actions to closure.

5. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE)

• Enforce compliance with HSE standards and the site-specific safety plan.

• Ensure all mechanical lifting, rigging, and pressure system works are carried out safely.

• Review and verify lifting plans and critical lifting operations.

• Participate in daily toolbox talks and weekly HSE inspections.

• Immediately report unsafe acts, equipment defects, or environmental violations.

6. Progress Monitoring & Reporting

• Track daily work progress, manpower, and equipment deployment for mechanical works.

• Verify installed quantities and percentage progress against the baseline schedule.

• Identify and report bottlenecks, delays, or deviations affecting progress.

• Provide weekly site reports, including photos, test results, and EPC performance summaries.

• Support the Construction Manager in preparing monthly progress and forecast reports.

7. Testing, Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning

• Review and approve mechanical testing and commissioning procedures.

• Witness and verify pre-commissioning tests, such as:

  • Pressure and leak tests for piping

  • Rotation, alignment, and vibration checks for rotating equipment

  • HVAC performance and air balancing tests

  • Fire suppression system integrity and alarm tests

• Coordinate mechanical completion checks and issue mechanical completion certificates (MCC).

• Ensure all systems are tested, cleaned, preserved, and handed over in line with project requirements.

8. BESS and PV System Interfaces

• Supervise mechanical integration of battery containers, PCS skids, transformers, and auxiliary systems.

• Verify HVAC, fire detection/suppression, and thermal management systems in BESS containers.

• Ensure coordination of mechanical-electrical interfaces, including grounding and cable routing supports.

• Support FAT and SAT activities for BESS mechanical subsystems.

9. Documentation & Record Management

• Maintain an up-to-date record of inspections, test results, drawings, and correspondence.

• Verify EPC’s submission of as-built drawings, test certificates, and O&M manuals.

• Maintain daily site diaries, inspection logs, and material delivery records.

• Ensure documentation supports handover and final acceptance requirements.

10. Coordination & Communication

• Attend site coordination, QA/QC, and HSE meetings.

• Coordinate with Electrical and Civil PMC Engineers to resolve interface issues.

• Liaise with EPC’s field engineers and provide technical guidance where required.

• Communicate key observations and risks to the Construction Manager promptly.

11. Professional Conduct

• Uphold PMC’s principles of independence, integrity, and professionalism.
