* Check materials, assist with basic take-offs, track quantities and support the site team with progress and technical information.

* Identify defects or technical issues early and help provide practical solutions and corrective actions.

* Liaise professionally with clients, subcontractors, utilities, operatives and internal teams while representing the business positively on site.
