Tenant & RLO Liaison: Work hand-in-hand with Resident Liaison Officers (RLOs) to manage access schedules, minimize disruption, and resolve tenant queries or complaints swiftly.
Health & Safety Compliance: Ensure full site compliance with CDM regulations, manage RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements), and consistently deliver toolbox talks to the site team.
Quality Control & Handovers: Conduct pre-start surveys, inspect in-progress workmanship, manage snagging, and complete smooth handovers back to the tenant and client.
Reporting: Maintain precise site diaries, track material allocations, and submit weekly progress reports to the Project Manager.

Candidates will not be considered without the following mandatory qualifications:
SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme).
