• Managing project budgets, schedules, resources, risks and commercial performance.
• Ensuring compliance with all health, safety and environmental requirements.
• Acting as the primary point of contact for customers and key stakeholders throughout project delivery.
• Providing regular progress updates and ensuring project objectives and milestones are achieved.
• Supporting the successful deployment of digital solutions and services that optimise building performance and energy efficiency.
• Driving a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration and operational excellence on site.
