• Working closely with Contract Administrators, consultants, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors to ensure successful project delivery.
• Ensuring projects comply with relevant legislation, including CDM Regulations, Building Regulations and other statutory requirements.
• Reviewing contractor documentation, including RAMS and Construction Phase Plans, and ensuring safe systems of work are in place.
• Monitoring project budgets, programmes and risks while identifying opportunities to deliver value for money.
• Producing progress reports and maintaining strong relationships with residents, housing teams, contractors and external stakeholders.
