• Liaise with clients, consultants, main contractors and the wider design team
• Chair progress, design, technical and subcontractor meetings
• Manage RFIs, technical queries, design changes and project documentation
• Coordinate mechanical services with electrical, architectural and structural packages
• Monitor quality, programme, subcontractor performance, RAMS, permits and CDM compliance
• Resolve technical, commercial and programme issues and report progress to senior management
