- Managing and mentoring a team of technical coordinators, reviewing their output and developing their capability.
- Taking the lead role in RIBA stage design coordination with architects, structural engineers and services consultants.
- Overseeing Building Regulations and NHBC submissions across the patch, resolving technical queries as they arise.
