  • Ability to manage a site team and on-site labour is essential.
  • You must be able to manage workload, organise and coordinate works according to a programme and construction drawings.
  • Ability to work to the Group’s quality and safety standards. A current SSSTS or SMSTS qualification and other in-date safety training would be an advantage.
