The successful candidate will be hands-on, organised and quality focused, with strong experience in high-end painting and decorating. They will act as the main point of contact on site for the decorating team and work closely with our Contracts and Commercial teams.

This is a hands-on role. On smaller projects, a full-time supervisory requirement may not be necessary, and the successful candidate will therefore be expected to carry out decorating works alongside the team as required.

Key responsibilities:

• Supervise and coordinate decorators and subcontractors on site.
• Plan daily and weekly activities to meet the agreed programme.
• Allocate labour effectively and monitor productivity.
• Maintain a consistently high standard of workmanship and finish.
• Inspect areas prior to decoration and identify any issues that may affect the works.
• Ensure correct preparation and application methods are followed.
• Ensure works are completed in accordance with drawings, specifications, finishes schedules and approved samples.
• Coordinate with site management and other trades to ensure areas are ready and works can progress efficiently.
• Identify additional works, changes or delays and report these promptly to the Contracts and Commercial teams.
• Monitor materials and coordinate requirements and deliveries.
• Carry out quality checks, snagging and oversee completion of defects.
• Ensure appropriate protection is maintained throughout the works.
• Ensure health and safety requirements, RAMS and site procedures are followed.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and professional working environment.
• Provide regular progress updates, including labour levels, completed areas and any issues affecting programme or cost.
• Represent the company professionally when dealing with clients, main contractors, consultants, and other trades.
