Resource coordination

• Submit accurate completion records, test results, certification and handover documentation within required timeframes.

Health, safety, environment and permits

• Lead HSSE requirements for assigned projects, ensuring required processes, documentation, permits and controls are in place before works proceed.

• Prepare and maintain required safety documentation, including SWMS/JSA, isolations, risk assessments, pre-starts and toolbox records.

• Complete toolbox meetings, pre-start briefings and site safety checks with technicians and subcontractors.

• Ensure access approvals and client site requirements are current, understood and followed.

• Escalate hazards, incidents, near misses and unsafe conditions in line with Cushman & Wakefield processes.

Financial and administration

• Track labour, material, subcontractor and plant costs against approved budgets.

• Identify scope changes and variations early, ensuring approval is obtained before additional work proceeds where cost, programme or margin may be affected.

• Maintain accurate job records, including notes, purchasing, safety records, completion details and documentation for claims, invoicing, reconciliation, reporting and audit purposes.

• Assist with monthly project reconciliation, WIP review and close-out of completed jobs.

• Support the Electrical Manager and estimators with technical input on scope, methodology, labour planning and material requirements.

Client, supplier and subcontractor coordination

• Maintain professional communication with clients, facilities managers, suppliers, contractors and subcontractors.

• Provide clear updates on progress, access needs, risks, delays and completion requirements.

• Identify future work opportunities or additional client requirements and elevate as appropriate.

• Represent Cushman & Wakefield professionally on client sites.

Key Measures of Performance

• Assigned projects and minor works completed safely, within agreed timeframes and to the required quality standard.

• Jobs delivered within approved budgets and in line with expected gross margin targets.
