Takes ownership, follows through on commitments and leads from the front.

Has an uncompromising commitment to and respect for Work Health & Safety, actively promoting a positive safety culture where every person goes home safe.

Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office Suite, email management, digital reporting platforms and construction management software.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate professionally with clients, consultants and project teams.

A sound understanding of WHS legislation, quality assurance processes, environmental compliance and risk management.

Experience working in live operational environments such as schools, healthcare facilities or commercial sites will be highly regarded.

Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, programmes and contract documentation.
