Project Delivery and Programme Control

- Identify and escalate risks that may impact budget, margin, programme, supplier costs, or overhead recovery.
- Support the timely provision of information required for valuations, variations, compensation events, early warnings, procurement updates, and client reporting, where applicable.
- Maintain a clear understanding of project scope, deliverables, and client requirements to reduce the risk of uncontrolled change or unrecorded additional works.
Health, Safety, Quality, and Environment
- Promote and enforce a Safety First and Right First Time culture across all site operations.
- Ensure works are delivered in accordance with applicable legislation, MJ Quinn policies, client site rules, RAMS, permits, and project-specific controls.
- Investigate accidents, incidents, near misses, quality failures, and service deterioration trends competently, ensuring corrective and preventative actions are recorded and closed out.
- Carry out regular site inspections, quality checks, and audits to verify workmanship, compliance, housekeeping, and safe systems of work.
- Raise, manage, and close non-conformance reports, ensuring actions are allocated, pursued, and resolved.
