Key Responsibilities

* Monitor and manage technical design interfaces across project disciplines, contractors, consultants, stakeholders, and external delivery teams.
* Track interfaces between railway systems, civil works, metro design-build packages, and surrounding projects to support coordinated delivery.
* Review and validate contractor interface deliverables, including interface management plans, interface matrices, registers, drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
* Identify interface-related issues, coordination conflicts, missing dependencies, and unresolved technical risks during design and construction stages.
* Provide guidance to contractors on practical interface solutions that support project delivery, constructability, safety, and system integration.
* Assess contractor interface management performance and recommend corrective actions when progress, documentation, or coordination quality falls below expectations.
* Facilitate coordination between metro design-build packages and adjacent projects to align design, construction, access, systems, utilities, and operational requirements.
* Coordinate with external stakeholders, third parties, project management organizations, consultants, contractors, and authority representatives as required.
* Work closely with Lead Civil, Lead Systems, Lead Depot, and Lead Operations and Maintenance teams to resolve technical interface challenges.
* Ensure alignment between railway subsystems, civil works, depot requirements, operational needs, and multidisciplinary design packages.
* Engage with contractor interface managers to monitor interface progress, close open actions, resolve conflicts, and maintain delivery momentum.
* Support interface workshops, coordination meetings, technical reviews, progress sessions, and stakeholder discussions.
* Prepare interface reports, action trackers, risk updates, coordination logs, and status summaries for project management and client stakeholders.
* Monitor interface registers and dependency logs to ensure ownership, deadlines, decisions, and closeout actions remain clear.
* Support escalation of critical interface issues where decisions are required from senior technical leads, project management, or external stakeholders.
* Help maintain consistent interface management processes across complex, multi-contractor rail and transportation project environments.
* Promote clear communication and structured coordination between multinational and multidisciplinary project teams.
