Scope: White wall stage through to final handover
On behalf of our client, a leading main contractor, we are seeking two experienced Freelance Internal Finishing Managers to drive the interior fit-out of a high-profile, fast-paced commercial development in Coventry.
This is a pure delivery role. You will take ownership of designated floors/zones from the white wall stage (post-drylining) all the way through first/second fix, specialist finishes, and ultimate final handover to the client.
Key ResponsibilitiesSubcontractor Drive: Push and manage sub-contractors daily to ensure internal fit-outs conform strictly to architectural specifications and fast-paced program benchmarks.
Digital Defect Management: Manage the entire snagging and de-snagging lifecycle digitally. You will be responsible for logging, allocating, and closing out items in real time.
