- Reviewing buildability and driving value engineering and effective risk mitigation.
- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams, specialist subcontractors and supply-chain partners.
- Supporting Principal Contractor duties and ensuring relevant duty holders understand their responsibilities.
- Ensuring appropriate mechanical and electrical safe systems of work, energisation readiness and live-working controls are in place.
- Implementing and monitoring QMP, ITP, RAMS and Testing & Commissioning Plan requirements.
- Ensuring inspections, witnessing, certification, commissioning records, as-builts and snagging are completed ahead of handover.
- Supporting delivery of O&M manuals, end‑user training, seasonal commissioning and aftercare requirements.
- Providing clear progress reporting and maintaining strong communication with project stakeholders.
- Challenging unsafe practices and unresolved technical or compliance risks.
- Driving right‑first‑time delivery, continuous improvement and successful project outcomes.

You will ideally have:
- Strong experience in building services / MEP project delivery.
