- Supervising direct labour operatives and subcontractors, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, and to the required standard.
- Conducting quality inspections and sign-offs, ensuring all properties meet lettable standards and compliance requirements.
- Monitoring void turnaround times, budgets, contractor performance, and service KPIs.
