4. Providing project updates to the client and addressing concerns.
5. Overseeing the installation of temporary works as a Temporary Works Coordinator, ensuring compliance with design specifications.

Requirements:

1. CSCS, SSSTS/SMSTS certifications.
2. HNC / Degree in Civil Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
