The purpose of the Project Controller (with site experience) is to coordinate and manage all aspects of each cabin and modular projects in a consistent and timely manner and to ensure the project costs are carefully managed and profit on all operations are maximized.

Some site Supervision/Management will be required as and when the business dictates. This will be organised through and by the Head of Projects. **Some working away from home will be required.**

- Set up the project administration files - paper and electronic.
- Populate the above in a timely, consistent, and accurate manor.
- To take part in a detailed handover from sales.
- To ensure pre-start project meetings are held with “sales” and “production”.
- To ensure that all project costs and revenues are carefully managed and recorded from start to finish.
- To ensure that project variations, amendments and extras are managed, and the details communicated efficiently with the relevant parties - the Project Costing Sheet must be updated.
- To maximize WRB profit on all aspects of all projects by ensuring we have a “buying policy” for all key price tag items.
- To ensure each Project Costing Sheet is kept accurate at all times, in conjunction with the Office Manager
- To clarify, confirm and agree the exact building specification and scope of extra works, particularly groundworks, directly with the client, on every project.
- To aid the site managers in handing over the projects snag free.
- To attend internal and external meetings as necessary.
- To maintain effective communication with colleagues.
- To ensure all projects are thoroughly planned in advance of site works and all necessary paperwork including Health and Safety documentation, RAMS, Lift Plans, Health and Safety Files are submitted in advance or as necessary, under the guidance of the Head of Projects.
