What you will do

Deliver the project

• Own the project from start to finish: plan and sequence the works against the drawings and programme, and keep every work front on schedule.

Control cost, quality and safety

• Track labour, material and equipment costs against budget, forecast early, and flag any variance with a recommended action.
• Make sure the work meets the client’s requirements and our quality, environmental, health and safety standards on every shift, not just on inspection day.
• Prepare the technical reports and records that support your decisions and any claims or variations.

What you bring
