• Ensuring compliance with CDM requirements and maintaining appropriate records

• Overseeing cleaning, repair and conservation teams, liaising closely with team leaders
• Attending monthly client meetings (usually with the Projects Director in attendance) and technical site walkaround meetings with the design team, typically fortnightly but more frequently where needed
• Formulating project programmes for reporting and monitoring purposes, and implementing target programmes for teams
• Coordinating site logistics, including deliveries, storage and disposal of plant and materials on site (this may be covered by a site administrator, with back-up support from Head Office)
• Producing CVIs and Request for Change control forms
• Preparing monthly valuations for submission to the client's QS
• Surveying facades to help schedule works and variations
• Carrying out site surveys with the Project Manager to support estimating for new works, including meeting clients and specialists and attending post-tender interviews for work within the project team

You'll supervise site activities on a day-to-day basis, ensuring all work is carried out in accordance with the appropriate specifications, drawings and method statements, and that operatives and other interested parties are properly briefed on their tasks. You'll help implement and enforce the company's policies on health and safety and quality management, and support liaison between the operative workforce and the Project Manager. You'll keep appropriate records and ensure the Project Manager is fully informed of relevant matters regarding the project, working in conjunction with them to achieve efficient servicing of the project and dissemination of information. More broadly, you'll promote the best interests of the company at all times, and undertake such specific tasks as may reasonably be allocated by the Project Manager.
