Plan and carry out routine, principal, and special/detailed inspections of bridges, underpasses, and associated structural elements (deck, bearings, expansion joints, parapets/barriers, piers, abutments, drainage, and waterproofing).
Identify, record, and classify structural defects and deterioration (e.g. cracking, spalling, corrosion, PT/tendon distress, bearing movement, joint failure) using standard condition rating systems, and assess their structural significance to recommend appropriate follow-up actions, prioritisation, and repair methodology.
Maintain an accurate, up-to-date structural asset inventory and inspection history for all assigned bridges and underpasses, and prepare detailed inspection reports, condition surveys, and photographic records for submission to the Client/Consultant.
Manage bridge and underpass maintenance and repair activities to ensure works are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, and method statements.
Provide technical direction for structural repair works including concrete repairs, crack injection, waterproofing, protective coatings, bearing replacement, expansion joint repair/replacement, and barrier/kerb upgrades, and review and approve method statements, repair proposals, and materials submitted by contractors/subcontractors prior to execution.
Coordinate with QA/QC teams to ensure maintenance works meet required quality standards, witness critical inspection stages, and support emergency/reactive maintenance response for structures showing critical defects or safety concerns.
Coordinate with the Client, Consultant, subcontractors, and site teams to ensure smooth execution of inspection and maintenance programmes.
Ensure compliance with HSE requirements and safe systems of work during all inspection and maintenance activities, including traffic management and confined space/access arrangements where applicable.
Assist in the measurement of completed works and preparation of project/asset management documentation.
