Quality Assurance: Monitor construction processes to ensure all works meet the required specifications, quality standards, and contractual obligations.

Coordination:

• Liaise with the Façade Project Manager to ensure alignment between on-site activities and broader project goals.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to maintain smooth site operations.

Progress Monitoring: Track on-site progress against the program and provide regular updates and reports to the Façade Project Manager.
