• Coordinate and manage subcontractors, ensuring works are delivered in line with the construction programme.

• Drive progress on site, identifying potential delays and implementing solutions to keep the project on track.

• Maintain high standards of health and safety, quality control and site compliance.

• Carry out regular inspections, quality checks and site safety audits.

• Ensure RAMS, permits, site records and relevant documentation are maintained.

• Work closely with the Project Manager and wider delivery team to achieve key milestones.

• Oversee snagging, finishing works and handover requirements as the development progresses.
