HSE & ESG: Champion OEGEN's safety culture, focusing on contractor compliance with CDM and SHE policies, and embedding ESG principles in construction delivery. Review and enforce project specific HSE plans and conduct regular site visits. Handover & continuous improvement: Ensure smooth transition from construction into operations, including delivery of as built documentation, warranties, permits, and asset readiness packs.
