- Identify discrepancies and coordinate solutions with engineers, architects and subcontractors.
- Manage and update project programmes, identify delays and implement recovery plans.
- Coordinate procurement, including steelwork, materials and subcontractors.
- Monitor lead times and ensure materials and information are available when required.
- Provide regular progress updates to clients and manage expectations.
- Coordinate Site Managers, subcontractors, suppliers and consultants.
- Identify project risks and deal with problems proactively.
- Maintain good standards of quality, organisation and communication.
- Take increasing ownership of projects from start through to completion.
