News Spotlight Are we doing it right? Effective meetings in Microsoft Teams

Since the Covid onslaught, businesses worldwide have adopted Microsoft Teams in place of meeting in person. And while it’s true that many of us are now adept with the software, it’s likely that others still use only the bits that suit them best.

Engineering Management

On your project it's reassuring to know that you have someone you can turn to at any stage: omeone you can rely on to keep you up to date, a linchpin. Over the years our clients have come to know that they can rely on QEM Solutions for this service. From planning, to constructing and maintaining, we have all the skills, experience & knowhow needed to help with every stage.

Our team of engineers draws on backgrounds in civils, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, geotechnical and environmental engineering disciplines.  Able to draw on best practice from other industries, we think around problems.

It also means that the solutions we provide for you can be unique to your industry. Our staff have amassed the polar opposite experiences of working in the office, in design teams and on the site managing teams of engineers and subcontractors, of being a client's representative on site and dealing with the contractor solely on their behalf.

Every one of our team brings their own personality and way of dealing with things to a project. But they all have one key trait in common: the interpersonal skills required to engage with construction personnel, engineering staff or senior management. 

We can offer engineering and site management skills such as;

Engineering:

  • Management of site investigations including enviro-geotechnical
  • Identification of any gaps in design prior to construction
  • Development of technical bid applications
  • Temporary works co-ordination
  • Management of design interface between designers and 3rd parties
  • Verification of contractor safe working practices: tunneling, CP, E&I, hydrostatic testing
  • Development of engineering documentation including schedules, specifications, data sheets and management plans
  • Management and verification of tunneling / crossing designs and techniques, including the generation of third party acceptance submissions and the necessary supporting calculations
  • Management of site engineering departments, including surveyors, CAD operators and other engineers

Site Management:

  • Managing of subcontractors
  • Inspection of conditions to client / legislation specifying standards
  • Managing of budgets and resources so that programs are achieved on target and on budget
  • Reporting of progress and delays with proposed mitigations to those delays
  • Chairing of meetings between clients and contractors
  • Staff experienced in quality, H&S and environmental legislation and best practices and implementing these on construction sites and working environments
  • Hosting of toolbox talks and safety presentations
  • Personnel trained in behavioural techniques for dealing with ranging personality types

Benefits include;

  • The ability to rely on a large pool of resources and experiences from widely differing industries
  • Personable individuals who endeavour to achieve the objectives of both you and your clients
  • Practical engineering and management solutions
  • Staff who work with and relate to current legislation and standards
