- Assist with site inspections, quality checks, and coordination of M&E works within tight programmes
- Help interpret drawings, specifications, and technical information in constrained or live environments
- Support coordination of building services with architectural finishes and other trades
- Assist with testing, commissioning, and handover of building services systems
- Learn how health, safety, and environmental requirements are managed in live or occupied buildings
