Oversee site setup, deliveries, waste management, and building control access within a live Central London commercial building.
* Health, Safety & Environment:
Maintain rigorous H&S standards, conduct daily inductions, toolbox talks, RAMS reviews, and keep site documentation up to date.
* Quality Control:
Implement strict quality control procedures to ensure defect-free handover.
* Client & Stakeholder Management:
Conduct regular progress walk-throughs with the Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor, client reps, building management, and design team.
