- Maintain accurate site records, including progress updates, timesheets, material usage and daily reports.
- Support commercial performance by monitoring variations, resource use, subcontractor delivery and potential risks.
- Coach and develop supervisors, forepersons and site teams, encouraging professional standards and effective communication.
About you
You will have substantial experience supervising heavy civil or infrastructure projects, with a proven record of delivering works safely, on time and to a high standard. Experience managing multiple trades, subcontractors and complex construction sequences is essential.
Applicants should hold relevant construction qualifications and, where required, appropriate site safety certification. Strong knowledge of construction methods, health and safety requirements, quality control and project documentation is expected.
