About

I’m Rhys Pratt, a cold-chain site supervisor with deep hands-on experience installing insulated panel systems and freezer/cold-store doors, with a strong focus on vapor sealing, hygienic finishes, and airtight envelope integrity. From reading drawings through to installation and handover, I coordinate with engineers, QSs, and architects to keep programmes moving while protecting workmanship quality.

I’m safety-first and documentation-strong, contributing to SSSP/RAMS/SWMS, running pre-starts and toolbox talks, and ensuring permits-to-work and workface planning are handled methodically. I also bring a logistics mindset to construction—especially time-critical routing and DG-aware materials handling—using practical QA/QC (ITPs, hold/witness points, defect logs, punch lists, and close-out artifacts) to deliver reliable low-temperature environments.
