• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, consultants and site teams
• Reporting project progress, risks, delays and commercial issues to senior management
• Ensuring all works comply with RAMS, CDM requirements, manufacturer specifications and BlueSky accreditation standards

• Confidence dealing directly with clients and site teams
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach
