4. Liaising with project stakeholders, including architects, conservation specialists, and local authorities.
5. Maintaining accurate project documentation, including reports and compliance records.
6. Contributing to problem-solving and decision-making to address site challenges.

5. Basic knowledge of construction processes, ideally with an interest in conservation or heritage projects.
6. A valid driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites as required.
7. A relevant qualification (e.g., construction management, civil engineering, or similar) is desirable but not essential, as on-the-job training will be provided.
