• Operate drone/LiDAR progress workflows (with supervision), assist in computer vision checks for site safety. 

• Run IoT + geo-fencing material tracking dashboards; flag exceptions (route deviation, dwell breaches). 

• Use GenAI assistants for executive summaries, daily status notes, risk logs, and stakeholder communications (governed by data policies). 

D. Documentation & Stakeholder Support 

• Maintain PMO registers (change, interface, issues, decisions); compile weekly/monthly packs. 

• Coordinate meetings, actions, and follow-ups with EPCs/vendors/regulators; support site visits & audits.
