• Monitor construction progress against programme milestones, identifying risks and implementing mitigation measures to maintain delivery targets.
• Ensure quality assurance and quality control processes are implemented effectively, including inspections, testing, and compliance with specifications and industry standards.
• Proactively identify, manage, and resolve construction issues as they arise, maintaining alignment with wider project objectives and stakeholder expectations.
• Support cost control activities, including productivity monitoring, subcontractor performance management, and input into forecasting and change management.
