The Senior Craft Supervisor reports to the Craft Area Superintendent and is responsible for coordinating and supervising all craft-related activities on site. This includes overseeing one or more Supervisors leading teams within a specific construction discipline (civil, structural, piping, etc.). The role ensures effective leadership, high-quality execution, and close control of subcontractors’ work, in collaboration with discipline Supervisors.

• Supervise and mentor Supervisors to ensure safe, accurate, and timely execution of the work.
• Guarantee all tasks are completed in compliance with quality standards and project requirements.
• Monitor the discipline work schedule and coordinate resource mobilization (labor, materials, equipment) according to the available work fronts (drawings and material release), in collaboration with the Project Control team. Where AWP (Advanced Work Packaging) is used, oversee the distribution of CWPs to Supervisors and Contractors.
• Ensure that craft personnel meet safety program expectations and technical skill requirements. Address non-conformities and ensure corrective actions are implemented. Organize on-site technical workshops, practical demonstrations, or toolbox talks to enhance team competencies.
• Implement a rolling three-week lookahead schedule in coordination with the Superintendent and Planning Team, and develop a detailed weekly execution plan aligned with this forecast.
• Review progress, work fronts, and resource allocation daily and weekly alongside the Superintendent and subcontractors, identifying and addressing potential risks to safety, quality, or timelines. Propose corrective actions and follow up with site leadership.
• Track and report daily progress of installation and erection works to the Construction Superintendent.
• Ensure preparation and implementation of Method Statements, Job Hazard Analyses, Risk Assessments, and Mitigation Plans for all discipline works.
