Reviewing drawings, specifications and fabrication programmes to identify issues before manufacture begins.
Ensuring materials, steelwork and modular components are manufactured, certified and delivered in the correct sequence.
Monitoring project costs, progress and forecasts to keep delivery aligned with agreed budgets and deadlines.
Maintaining project risk registers and change logs, identifying potential delays and commercial risks at an early stage.
Managing variations and contractual changes, ensuring additional costs and scope changes are properly recorded and agreed.
Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and site teams to maintain programme and quality standards.
Ensuring relevant quality documentation, certification and handover information are complete and accurate.
Communicating project progress, risks, costs and resource requirements to clients and senior management.
Resolving design, capacity and logistical issues before they affect production or site delivery.
Completing final accounts, reconciling costs and capturing lessons learned to support future projects.
