Senior Sustainability Engineer - Site

Description

• Coordinate with CxA/ICA on pre-functional checklists, TAB witness, issues log, and evidence required for Estidama Stage 4 and PCR close-out.
• Check for consistency: For every material submittal, verify compliance with LEED construction-phase credits (e.g., Low-Emitting Materials—adhesives, sealants, paints/coatings, flooring, ceilings/walls/insulation; composite wood formaldehyde; emissions testing, EPDs, Material Ingredients/HPDs/BPDo, Sourcing of Raw Materials) and confirm it supports any applicable LEED design credits (e.g., HVAC system, Building envelope, Water fixtures, metering) claimed in the design stage.
• PCR – Pearl Construction Rating: Compile the final submission linked to completion; respond to clarifications; secure the Construction Rating Award.
• Review the CDWMP (segregation, weighbridge tickets, diversion reporting); track temporary site energy and water KPIs; drive improvement actions with the contractor.
• Keep a live materials tracker mapping each product to the design-intent credits and construction-phase credits; flag gaps early and drive ubstitutions/alternates for compliance.
• Early Works (if applicable): Coordinate early works submissions; align evidence with the main PDR/PCR pathway.
• Build and maintain the construction-phase credit plan, evidence logs, photo records, and monthly dashboards.
• Review and ensure the implementation of Construction IAQ Plan: filtration, housekeeping, moisture control, storage/covering of absorptive materials; plan and document flush-out or testing.
• Pre-PCR audit planning: Submit the Construction Rating Questionnaire (CRQ), book Stage 1–4b audits, maintain the Site Audit Checklist and risk register.
• Run routine sustainability walks; raise/close NCRs and corrective actions; deliver toolbox talks and review monthly sustainability reports; align with QA/QC & HSE.
• Ensure Estidama PRs/credits material requirements are met in parallel; align with architectural specifications and submittal schedules.
• Maintain reviews with procurement to prevent noncompliant substitutions; require product data, declarations (EPD/HPD), VOC content/emissions test reports, SDS, and manufacturer letters as applicable.
• Lead coordination with main contractor, subs, client reps, and authorities for audits, submissions, and close-out; keep risks, actions, and deadlines visible.
• Prepare and upload documentation to LEED Online and the Estidama portal; manage clarifications to award.
