*
Coordinating civils, mechanical and associated works

*
Monitoring productivity, cost and programme performance
*
Maintaining accurate contemporary project records
*

Managing client, designer and stakeholder interfaces
*
Coordinating commissioning and project close-out
You'll Need

Water / wastewater treatment experience highly advantageous
*
Experience taking ownership of projects in the £1m–£5m range
