Managing project documentation, progress reports, and safety compliance
Specifying and understanding plant and equipment requirements
Working closely with internal teams and external suppliers to ensure smooth delivery
Providing technical advice during site surveys and supporting health & safety investigations
Ensuring projects are completed within scope, budget, and timescales
