Client Relations: Lead progress meetings and deliver high-quality monthly reports that give our clients total confidence in our delivery.
Team Integration: Act as the primary link between in-house trades (groundworks, brickwork, and dry lining) and third-party stakeholders to ensure everyone understands their mission.
Standards & Compliance: Uphold the company standard for H&S and Quality Assurance (QA), ensuring every project is compliant and documented to the highest degree.
What You'll Bring
Technical Expertise: Proven experience in preparing and reviewing project programmes
Agility: The ability to look ahead, anticipate delays, and find creative, cost-effective solutions under pressure.
Communication: A talent for translating complex project requirements into clear instructions for site teams and professional updates for clients.
Collaboration: A "one team" mindset, with the ability to liaise effectively across technical, commercial, and supply chain departments.
Commitment: A rigorous approach to Health & Safety and policy compliance.
My client value the expertise their whole team brings to the table.
