Follow up by taking appropriate and proportionate action (e.g. issue communications, call meetings) to avoid the cessation of works. This includes, but is not limited to, review of documents, assurance audits, etc.
Drive works on site and ensure contractor performance is in line with the agreed programme. Escalate concerns to the Area Construction Lead and provide solutions to recover/mitigate, following dialogue with the contractor.
Review the construction daily site logs to ensure information is reported to the required level of detail up through the organisation to the Area Construction Lead and escalate any issues/concerns via detailed reports.
Proactively communicate/co-ordinate with site functions (H&S, quality, surveillance, commercial, project controls, logistics) and other Senior Construction Delivery Managers to maintain good communication links, and ensure activity is well and timely reported. This will also include regular attendance at pre-start briefings and supporting the delivery of key messages to the contractor's organisation.Here's what you'll need:

Degree qualified in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or Construction management, or equivalent vocational training and experience.
SMSTS or IOSH qualification holder.
Experience and knowledge in delivering projects with multiple stakeholders, including optioneering, construction sequencing, recovery planning and resource allocation.
Good understanding of the post holder's obligations under the CDM Regulations.
Able to write informative, concise and meaningful reports and present the findings in a professional way to peers and senior managers.
