Construction Liaison

A construction liaison coordinates various communication and activities between a construction company and one or more other parties. When it comes to energy projects, a construction liaison provides essential on-the-ground support to ensure healthy communication and avoid delays.

Energy Industry & Construction Liaisons

For large-scale energy projects, a construction liaison may support some or all of the following:

Ensuring proactive communication between the project developer, construction company, landowners, surrounding neighbors, community leaders, and local organizations.

Obtaining good neighbor agreements with adjacent landowners to gain buy-in and avoid unnecessary friction.

Monitoring local sentiment that presents itself in online forums, social media groups, town council meetings, and local news reports.

Answering questions and dealing with feedback from local stakeholders. In some cases, this may involve handling strong objections from concerned members of the community.

Working to avoid delays by obtaining agreements, providing adequate notice to landowners, and removing potential roadblocks.

Filling the Construction Liaison Role

Project developers may choose to assign one or more staff members to fill the construction liaison role. This approach likely offers the greatest degree of control for the developer. That said, finding the right person for the job requires a special blend of people skills, construction site experience, and a strong backbone. However, it’s often easier and more effective to outsource to a land services company, such as our team at Trigen.
