• Liaise with project teams, suppliers, installers and subcontractors to keep work on track.
• Order materials and monitor costs, ensuring deliveries arrive on time.
• Record variations, obtain approvals and raise invoices for completed work.
• Chase timesheets, photographs, completion paperwork and outstanding actions.
• Monitor job progress, quality, customer feedback and remedial works.
• Produce reports and ensure health, safety and compliance procedures are followed.
• Identify improvements to processes, systems and operational efficiency.
