Project Liasion Officer

Headcount Solutions are seeking to recruit a Project Liaison Officer for one of our multinational client sites in Limerick

Role

The individual appointed liaises with the land and property owners, the public and the Local Authority in accordance with the IFA Agreement. The PLO will endeavour to ensure the early delivery of accommodation works agreements.

Responsibilities

• Provide information to stakeholders affected by the Project in relation to, inter alia, proposed landtake, proposed accommodation works and the statutory processes e.g. by providing maps and information published by TII.
  
  
• Agree access to privately owned lands for Contractors carrying out enabling works and surveys (both intrusive and non-intrusive) as part of the Project. Adequate written notice (14 days in accordance with the IFA/ DOE/ TII Agreement) shall be given to affected stakeholders.
  
  
• In instances where access to lands cannot be obtained by agreement, make the necessary provisions to exercise the Local Authority’s legal entitlement to access lands pursuant to Section 78 of the Roads Act 1993, as amended.
  
  
• Confirm, in writing where necessary, to affected stakeholders that Contractors acting on behalf of the Local Authority to carry out the above works have the necessary insurance in place to indemnify the stakeholders in the event of personal injury or material damage.
  
  
• In the case of intrusive surveys (e.g. ground investigation, archaeological test trenching etc.), determine the extent and quantum of compensation due to each affected stakeholder and recommend payments to be made by the Local Authority.
  
  
• Agree, as soon as possible, the nature and extent of accommodation works required for each affected stakeholder for inclusion in the Project design and/or environmental evaluation.
  
  
• Assess the accuracy of land ownership records held by the Local Authority and confirm these records with individual stakeholders. Attention should be given to determining private rights-of-way and other burdens which may be affected by the Project and may require inclusion in the compulsory acquisition of land schedule.
  
  
• Make all reasonable enquiries to establish the identity of landowners where no reliable records exist (e.g. unregistered land).
  
  
• Act as the primary point of contact in dealings between the main roadworks contractor and affected stakeholders in areas such as access, disruption to services and disturbance/ nuisance during construction.
  
  
• Ensure, in conjunction with the Project Manager, if separate, that the necessary approvals are in place to serve the statutory notices (Notice to Treat, Notice of Entry) within the specified time limits.
  
  
• Maintain accurate records of the Date of Entry by the Local Authority onto scheduled lands and advise the local authority of the total period, if any, for which interest is payable (Date of Land Agreement – Date of Entry = total number of days for which interest is payable).
