• Operations Planning & Coordination
• Oversee TBM procurement, assembly, commissioning, and launch sequences.
• Develop daily and weekly work plans, coordinating with civil, mechanical, electrical, slurry, and survey teams.
• Liaise with subcontractors, OEMs, geotechnical experts, and project engineers.
• Monitor all TBM components: cutter head, main drive, slurry pumps, screw conveyors, segment erector, gantries.
• Ensure cutter head interventions in hyperbaric and standard conditions.
• Supervise slurry circuit—pressure, flow, pipelines, mucking—and manage surface slurry treatment.
• Implement preventive and corrective maintenance regimes to maximize TBM uptime.
• Maintain critical spares, consumables, and liaise with OEM support for troubleshooting.
• Track KPIs: advance rate, downtime, slurry consumption, cutter wear.
• Enforce safety protocols (e.g., lockout/tagout, confined space, slurry pressure safety).
• Conduct regular safety inspections, toolbox talks; handle emergencies and evacuations.
• Ensure excavation quality—for cutter alignment, over-excavation control, slurry pressure—to protect tunnel face integrity.
• Manage, mentor, and supervise multidisciplinary crews including engineers, foremen, pump/electric/mechanical operators.
• Recruit and train TBM team members; supervise performance, coordinate tasks, and ensure efficiency.
• Maintain daily logs: progress, breakdowns, maintenance, safety incidents, slurry metrics.
• Prepare weekly summaries, technical evaluations, deviation notices, and liaise with senior management.
