• Chair and attend site progress meetings with clients, consultants and subcontractors.
• Identify programme risks and implement solutions to minimise delays.
• Manage site logistics, deliveries and material storage.
• Ensure works are completed in accordance with drawings, specifications and building regulations.
• Oversee snagging, commissioning and final handover.
• Build positive relationships with clients and maintain excellent levels of customer satisfaction throughout the project.
