• Multi-Site Management: Oversee single main projects or coordinate across a couple of smaller, local 2-3 day maintenance schemes when required.

• Health & Safety: Maintain strict H&S standards on-site, conduct inductions, and ensure safe working environments in live or fast-turnaround hospitality spaces.
