► Liaison/coordination of construction preparation activities with Completions,
Construction and Engineering and other CMA and IO functions as follows
o Supports the contribution of technical tender package reviews
o Supports/interfaces with IO (including engineering) to define EWPs requirements
(e.g. expected document types, EWP content, format, structure, scope coverage) and
suitability for SmartPlant suite
o Addresses significant/recurrent issues escalated from the Construction teams and
Completions for continuous improvement in construction preparation activities
o Contribution to the Construction Readiness Reviews including assessment of
EWPs/CWPs/IWPs and Interfaces

► As-constructed dossier assessment:

o Support Quality, Supervision and Configuration Control teams in the review of as-
constructed document dossiers (content, NCRs/DRs/FCRs, formatting)

from the interface point of view of the work and logistic in the ITER Site
o Provide recommendations during constructability reviews and Final Design
Reviews for optimizing interfaces
o Supports the review of the EWP content and organize inputs for CWP from an
interface perspective, including technical and contractual interfaces and scope
boundaries, and schedule interfaces to support the planning function and CWP
preparation author.
o Organize proposals for construction sequence optimization against interfaces
issues
o Support the review of IWP’s relevant data, including access plans, IWP schedule
from scope/interface perspective; review of IWP physical interfaces and contractor
shared resources including lifting, handling, scaffolding and access.
o Provide inputs during the Construction Readiness Reviews from an interface
perspective
► In liaison with Supervision/Coordination teams, supports the re-configuration of the
interfaces during construction execution:
o Manages the RFIs related to interface issues to address significant coactivity
issues, conflicting requirements
