- Lead snagging and de-snagging inspections, ensuring all works meet required standards and certifications are in place.
- Investigate customer concerns regarding workmanship and support positive customer engagement throughout projects.
- Verify compliance with health and safety requirements, building regulations, and organisational policies.
- Support programme planning through stock condition surveys and provide commercial oversight by reviewing invoices for accuracy.
- Work flexibly across office, site, and community settings as part of a hybrid working arrangement.
