• Coordinate and review RAMS for all trades prior to site activity.

• Work with the Operations Manager to procure materials, labour, equipment, and skips, ensuring all have appropriate purchase orders.

• Schedule and manage site set-up, deliveries, and clearances.

• Oversee first-day site set-up, ensuring compliance with signage, PPE, and first aid requirements.

• Welcome and brief contractors as each new trade begins.

• Conduct efficient site visits and communicate updates by 9AM each day.

• Proactively resolve issues and liaise with the Sales team, QS, suppliers, and clients.

• Ensure the site is cleared at completion, manage snagging, and oversee resolution to client satisfaction.

• Sign off and verify supplier and subcontractor invoices post-project.

About You:

• Proven experience in delivering commercial fit-out projects (office, retail, or similar).

• Strong working knowledge of RAMS, CDM, building regulations, and planning processes.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

• Organised, process-driven, and comfortable managing multiple trades.
