This Unit is about an archaeologist's role in project management. It involves monitoring costs, quality and compliance. It also covers responsibilities for maintaining good communications with stakeholders and others involved in the delivery of the project.
You need to monitor project costs against agreed budgets. Where cost trends are adverse, you need to be able to advise, with other consultants where appropriate, where changes in specification and other aspects of the project might be modified to achieve savings. You also need, where appropriate, to provide advice on breaches of contractual undertakings.
You need to be familiar with your obligations for project quality control including your legal and statutory obligations under health and safety legislation. You need to know how to deal with the discovery of work which fails to meet specifications within the terms of the contract, the terms of statutory approvals and your own conditions of engagement.
You need to ensure key stakeholders receive regular updates on the project and to make sure that the information, and the way it is provided, meets your stakeholders' needs. You need to ensure any agreements on confidentiality are maintained and to collect information from stakeholders which may affect the running of the project.
