• Hold regular meetings with the supply chain to maintain progress and match resources to the construction programme.
• Liaise with the Project Manager to prepare the project close-out report.
• Review resource allocation and progress with the Project Manager.

• Detailed knowledge of the engineering role, with strong commercial understanding.
• Solid grounding in Health, Safety and Environmental systems.
• Awareness of your team's strengths and weaknesses, with a genuine commitment to their development.
