  • Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers, and stakeholders to ensure work packages are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
  • Monitor progress against project milestones and budgets, identifying any deviations and implementing corrective actions as needed.
  • Prepare method statements, risk assessments, and project documentation in line with health and safety regulations and company procedures.
  • Conduct regular site inspections and audits to ensure compliance with health and safety, environmental regulations, and project specifications.
  • Provide technical support and guidance to site staff, addressing technical queries and coordinating any necessary design changes.
  • Assist in preparing progress reports, including daily diaries, photographic records, and as-built drawings to document project activities and achievements.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Degree or diploma in civil engineering, construction management, or a related discipline.
  • Previous experience in a similar role within the construction industry, with a strong understanding of construction techniques and processes.
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and stakeholders effectively.
  • Familiarity with health and safety regulations, environmental standards, and quality management systems.
  • Proficiency in construction software and tools, such as project management software and CAD programmes, is advantageous.
  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team, whilst also demonstrating independence and working with minimal supervision.

What’s On Offer:

  • Opportunity to work on a prestigious power transmission project with a leading construction firm.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including healthcare, pension, and opportunities for career progression.
  • A supportive and inclusive working environment, where your contributions are recognised and valued.
