• Keep accurate site records, progress reports, and documentation.
• Help with snagging, customer handovers, and ensuring a high-quality finish on all homes.
• Build positive relationships with suppliers, contractors, and internal teams to support smooth project delivery.

About You

• Experience working on residential construction sites (ideally new build housing).
• Strong understanding of the full build process and NHBC standards.
