You’ll also oversee health and safety standards, coordinate subcontractors and suppliers, and support site managers in maintaining quality through to snagging and handover.
About You

You’ll understand the challenges of working within existing buildings, including coordinating alterations, managing access and sequencing work around client requirements.
You’ll be commercially aware, confident managing subcontractors and able to build productive relationships with clients and site teams. A practical approach to problem-solving and the ability to balance competing project demands will be essential.
