• Prepare site file and instructions including drawings and technical information for site labour.

• Follow through with suppliers for dates and any issues.

• Maintain progress and resolve issues as they arise.

• Liaise with client keeping them fully informed at all stages (be them good or not so good!).

• Manage variations with client, suppliers and subcontractors; cost variations with estimating support as needed.

• Prepare interim valuations for Accounts to issue.

• On completion undertake final inspection and sign off with client agreeing final account.

• Complete O&M information where needed issuing to client as built drawings, maintenance instructions, testing and commissioning certificates and building control final certificates.

So, as you can see, it’s an interesting role!
