• Assisting with scope clarification and coordination with subcontractors and suppliers.
• Maintaining a strong focus on site safety in line with regulatory rules and the company’s health and safety policy.
• Participating in site meetings and supporting the close-out of project deficiencies.
• Monitoring supply inventory so materials arrive on time and are properly tracked.

Candidate profile
