• Work closely with Client Services, Planning, the Drawing Office and Operations teams to ensure seamless project delivery.

• Conduct regular performance conversations with installation teams, recognising success and addressing areas for improvement.

• Drive a culture of accountability, teamwork and customer excellence.

• Ensure all installations are completed safely, efficiently and to company standards.
