• Support commercial control by monitoring variations, delays, labour and material requirements.
• Mentor site managers, engineers and supervisors, encouraging high standards of performance and collaboration.

You should be a confident communicator and decisive problem-solver, able to build effective relationships while maintaining focus on contractual, safety and operational requirements. The ability to interpret technical information, manage competing priorities and remain calm under pressure will be important.
