Maintain rigorous health and safety standards, which is paramount given the educational nature and setting of the development.
Manage, motivate, and coordinate sub-contractors and direct labor.
Liaise closely with project managers, clients, and school stakeholders to ensure a smooth, disruption-free project delivery.
