Without any controls or guidelines in place, what kind of sub-contractors might we have working for us?
This procedure covers the initial evaluation and ongoing monitoring of all subcontractors employed by the group companies.
Responsibility lies with the Contracts Manager to select the most suitable subcontractor for his project.
Very few contracts can be completed without the use of subcontractors, whether they be specialists (insulation, painting, scaffolding etc.) or simply to help smooth the workload.
Regardless of who the subcontractor is, the client only sees JEG and therefore we need to make sure that these folks are given the same attention as our own employees (toolbox talks, PA testing, timekeeping, appearance of PPE etc.)
Subcontractor agreements must be in place before any subcontractors start on site and relevant insurance details and tax clearance certs will form part of this.
A register of all approved subcontractors is maintained on Sharepoint.
EHS approval is also required for any new subcontractors.
Ongoing monitoring of subcontractors’ performance and quality standards is important and any found to be operating below JEG required level will be formally notified and may eventually be removed from the approved list if standards do not improve.
