• Coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors and other consultants to progress designs, approvals and construction documentation.
• Prepare scopes of work and tender packages, assess quotations, and manage procurement and subcontractor engagement within delegated authority.
• Direct and coordinate contractors and site teams, monitor performance and resolve issues affecting progress, cost or quality.
• Plan regional site mobilisation, material deliveries, equipment and trade availability to keep works on schedule.
• Monitor budgets, cash-flow forecasts, progress claims and variations, and report project performance and emerging risks to the Managing Director.

About you

• Experience delivering projects in regional locations or coordinating site logistics where trade and supplier availability is limited will be highly regarded.
