Creating a Subcontractor User > Primary Contact

Overview

The Primary Contact is a key role within the HammerTech system. An employer can assign one Company-Level Primary Contact and one Project-Level Primary Contact per project.

This individual can either:

• Be assigned as the Primary Contact for All Projects (available only for Company Admins), or

• Be assigned as the Primary Contact for a Single Project (available for any user role).

Who Should Be the Primary Contact?

Typically, the Primary Contact is not an on-site worker but an office-based staff member responsible for ensuring that personnel have completed inductions and submitted JHAS.

NOTE: If you are looking to add a Nominated Representative (a worker with User access) please read the Creating a Subcontractor User > Nominated Representative article.
