• Manage site deliveries and logistics, ensuring minimal disruption to residents.
• Keep the Site File and project records updated.
• Ensure first aid provisions are in place and up to date.
• Lead daily briefings and accurately report incidents, including near misses.
• Liaise with internal teams and external stakeholders to address and resolve on‑site issues promptly.
• Assist with external inspections (e.g., H&S inspectors) when required.
