• Prepare and submit a weekly internal progress report to the Project Manager, identifying access issues, delays, design shortages, third-party constraints, and overall project progress. This report will feed into the external client-facing report.
• Ensure that all subcontractor documentation, including safety files, is kept current and properly archived.

• Conduct weekly commercial meetings with the QS/commercial team to ensure variations are tracked and submitted to the client.
