Coordinate daily activities and support the delivery of planned works and programme targets.

Monitor subcontractor performance, workmanship and progress, reporting issues to the wider site management team.

Maintain effective communication with subcontractors, site management and other project stakeholders.

Help ensure relevant site documentation, permits and safety records are maintained.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to contribute to a major infrastructure programme, supporting the safe and efficient delivery of a substantial volume of borehole decommissioning works.

Candidates with strong general civils or groundwork's supervision experience are encouraged to apply, even if they have not worked directly on borehole decommissioning.
