Materials & Equipment Management

• Check and record site deliveries.
• Report shortages, damage or discrepancies promptly.
• Ensure unused materials are returned and appropriately recorded.
• Maintain and care for company tools and testing equipment.

Teamwork & Development

• Work collaboratively with engineers, project managers and subcontractors.
• Communicate effectively and proactively when issues arise.
