It is essential that you have a thorough and excellent understanding of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015, along with a thorough understanding of associated legislation including the Building Safety Act, Health & Safety at Work Act and Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations. A demonstrable understanding of design and construction drawings is required, with extensive experience of undertaking Design Risk Reviews.

You're going to be an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual with a generally flexible attitude and a general commitment to do what it takes to get the job done. You'll be relatively self-sufficient and able to work independently and unsupervised but enjoy working with the wider team. You'll have the ability to build great relationships, establish good working rapport and communicate effectively with clients and site staff at all levels, being able to handle difficult situations with diplomacy. Physical Requirements Being out on-site regularly will mean you will need to be physically able to move around a construction site safely, climbing ladders, accessing scaffolding and potentially working at height. GHPC will of course supply you with all the PPE you need to do this safely, you just need to supply common sense, a careful approach and the energy you need to get around site! Anything else? To do this job effectively you will need to be extremely IT literate and competent, being a highly experienced user of general Microsoft Office software and mobile phone software and operating systems. Since your job will rely on communication & co-ordinating audit trail, you will need to have excellent English language skills as well as excellent report writing and communication skills with a high level attention to detail and ability to maintain a suitable audit trail using the company's systems. You will be exceptionally well organised and have the ability to prioritise workload and the flexibility to multi-task.
