• Assisting with project planning, programming and progress monitoring.
• Preparing and updating CAD drawings and technical documentation.
• Producing risk assessments and method statements (RAMS).
• Reviewing construction drawings, specifications and project requirements.
• Coordinating materials, procurement, deliveries and site resources.
• Liaising with main contractors, clients, suppliers and site teams.
• Supporting the coordination of subcontractors and installation activities.
• Monitoring project costs, variations and budgets.
• Maintaining accurate project records and preparing progress reports.
• Helping resolve technical issues and ensuring projects remain on programme.
• Supporting quality control, health and safety compliance and project handover.
• Developing the skills and experience required to progress into a Project Manager role.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Some experience within construction, whether site-based, technical or project-related.

• Good IT skills and familiarity with CAD software.
• An awareness of RAMS, health and safety documentation and site procedures.
