You will coordinate project teams, contractors, consultants, suppliers and other stakeholders, maintaining clear communication throughout each stage of delivery.

Key responsibilities will include developing project plans, programmes, budgets and procurement strategies; monitoring progress against agreed milestones; managing variations, risks, issues and change control; and ensuring that all contractual, regulatory, environmental and health and safety requirements are met. You will review designs, specifications and construction methods, support tendering and contractor selection, and oversee site activities to ensure work is completed in accordance with approved documentation.
