Residential - precast

Key Responsibilities:

1. Precast Design & Development:

• Design precast concrete components (e.g., walls, floors, beams, columns, facades) for residential buildings based on project requirements, safety standards, and regulatory codes.
• Collaborate with architects and structural engineers to develop and review the design of precast elements, ensuring they meet design specifications, client needs, and construction schedules.
• Develop detailed drawings, technical specifications, and material lists for precast elements, using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
• Perform structural analysis to ensure that precast components can withstand required loads and forces, following relevant standards (e.g., IS 3370, ACI, Eurocodes).

1. Manufacturing & Production Coordination:

• Oversee the production process of precast concrete elements, ensuring that materials, forms, and casting procedures align with project specifications.
• Ensure that the manufacturing facility is properly set up, and materials are procured in a timely manner to avoid delays in production schedules.
• Coordinate with the production team to ensure quality control processes are followed, from the initial casting to curing and finishing stages.
• Conduct regular inspections and tests on precast components to ensure they meet design and quality standards, as well as local building codes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve any issues that arise during the production process to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of precast elements.

1. Installation & Site Coordination:

• Oversee the installation of precast concrete components on-site, ensuring that they are positioned, anchored, and connected according to design specifications.
• Coordinate with site engineers, contractors, and subcontractors to schedule and manage the timely delivery and installation of precast components.
• Ensure that appropriate handling, lifting, and safety protocols are followed during the transportation and installation of precast elements.
• Inspect the installation process to ensure that all components are correctly positioned and aligned, and resolve any issues or discrepancies that arise during installation.

1. Quality Control & Compliance:

• Develop and implement quality control procedures to monitor the precast production and installation processes, ensuring that all components meet the required standards and specifications.
• Conduct regular quality assurance audits and site inspections to ensure that the precast elements are installed correctly and comply with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain thorough documentation of all quality checks, inspections, and tests for regulatory compliance and project reporting purposes.
• Address any non-conformities and initiate corrective actions as needed to resolve quality issues.

1. Cost Management & Scheduling:

• Work closely with the project manager to develop and monitor budgets for the precast portion of the project, ensuring that costs are kept within established limits.
• Assist in preparing cost estimates and tracking material usage and production costs to ensure the precast work remains within the project budget.
• Develop and manage production and installation schedules, ensuring timely delivery of precast elements to meet construction deadlines.
• Identify opportunities for cost savings in the design, production, and installation phases and recommend solutions to enhance project efficiency.

1. Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance:

• Ensure that all precast design, production, and installation activities comply with relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations.
• Promote a culture of safety in the precast manufacturing and installation process, conducting regular safety audits and ensuring adherence to safety protocols.
• Ensure that the precast elements are designed and manufactured in an environmentally sustainable manner, minimizing waste and ensuring compliance with sustainability guidelines.

1. Team Leadership & Collaboration:

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers, drafters, and technicians involved in the precast design, production, and installation processes.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including architects, structural engineers, and project managers, to ensure alignment and smooth integration of precast elements into the overall project.
• Provide technical support and guidance to the production and site teams to resolve issues related to precast elements during construction.

1. Documentation & Reporting:

• Maintain accurate records of all precast design, production, quality control, and installation activities.
• Prepare regular progress reports for senior management and clients, addressing any challenges or delays and proposing solutions.
• Ensure that all necessary documentation is provided for regulatory compliance, including test reports, inspection logs, and material certifications.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is a plus.

• Experience:

  Minimum of 5 years of experience in precast concrete design, production, and installation, with a focus on residential construction projects.
