• Monitor actual material usage against planned quantities and investigate variances.
• Ensure works are delivered in accordance with the required construction tolerances and specifications.
• Produce as-built drawings, quality records and handover documentation in line with project requirements.
• Maintain accurate daily diaries, photographic records and records of relevant site discussions.
• Understand and identify additional works, ensuring appropriate records are maintained.
• Work collaboratively with the wider engineering and construction team to identify and resolve technical issues.
• Support continuous improvement across safety, quality, engineering and productivity.
