This person would be accountable for ensuring all projects and programmes are kept on track across every site, with clear ownership of timelines, deliverables, coordination, and execution.

A key part of the role is making sure every site has all the information it needs to operate and deliver properly including RFIs, drawings, instructions, programme updates, decisions, and any other critical project information.
