• Support the use of mobile field tools, reality capture, digital progress records and other approved technologies that connect site activity with project information.
• Assist teams in collating, validating and organising models, asset information, records and other digital deliverables for staged reviews and final handover.
• Capture lessons learned, identify inefficient activities and contribute ideas for standardisation, automation and improved digital ways of working.
• Own the agreed graduate development plan, complete required learning and seek feedback, mentoring and practical project experience.
• Follow health, safety, quality, information security and data protection requirements when using digital systems and supporting project teams.
