• Supervise construction of cycle tracks and associated works (pavement layers, asphalt, kerbs, segregation elements, signage, road markings, drainage, and street furniture) to verify correct line, level, crossfall, width, and safety requirements.
• Report to the ARE or RE any failure of the Contractor to perform the work as per drawings, specifications, and good workmanship, including any non-conformance related to cycle track geometry, surface quality, and user safety.
• Maintain a detailed diary of the day’s work activities, including cycle track and road works, issues, work approved or rejected, hours of operation, labor and equipment used, etc., and sign at the end of each day as directed by the ARE.
• Interface with the public and stakeholders adjacent to the works (residents, businesses, road users, cyclists) to help mitigate construction impacts and address access, safety, and traffic management concerns.
• Coordinate with the contractor’s site engineers daily to advise on proper execution of road, drainage, and cycle track works, including corrective actions where non-compliance or poor workmanship is observed.
• Coordinate with other discipline inspectors (e.g., structural, electrical, landscape) and arrange sampling and testing of satisfactorily completed work, as well as quality assurance testing of suspect materials (asphalt, concrete, aggregates, etc.).
• Coordinate with Surveyors to check the line and grade of ready and completed road and cycle track works for conformance with design cross-sections, levels, and alignment.
• Report questionable methods of operation by the Contractor to the ARE or RE, especially where these may affect safety, durability, or the intended function of cycle tracks and associated infrastructure.
• Process Inspection Requests and maintain accurate records of their status, ensuring timely inspection and feedback for all relevant construction activities.
• Maintain detailed records of work performed by the contractor where the work is executed on a Day Works basis, including quantities and resources used.
• Act positively and participate in all health and safety issues at site, as required by the Assistant Resident Engineer and project safety representatives, with particular attention to safe access for workers and road users around cycle track corridors.
• Act in a professional manner, while being firm in dealings with the Contractor to safeguard quality, schedule, and compliance with contract and regulatory requirements.

• Experience reviewing and inspecting temporary traffic management and construction staging around cycle tracks and pedestrian routes to ensure safe movements during construction.
• Understanding of public realm and universal access considerations, ensuring cycle tracks and adjoining sidewalks are safe and accessible for all users.
• Experience with digital inspection tools, mobile apps, or GIS-based systems for recording inspections, defects, and as-built data.
