Coordinate essential surveys (structural, asbestos, condition) to plan safe partial closures and phased access.
Oversee design development to ensure buildability, safety, cost control, and minimal service disruption.
Maintain proactive stakeholder communication, setting expectations for temporary closures, noise periods, and operational impacts.
Establish procurement and tender strategy tailored to a phased roofing package, ensuring contractors can accommodate staged working.
Prepare and issue a comprehensive roof-only tender pack, including drawings, sequencing requirements, specifications, prelims, contract conditions, and pricing documents.
Manage tender clarifications and ensure compliant, competitive bids that reflect the phased approach and operational constraints.
Phase 2
To be defined dependent on outcome of Phase 1 and the chosen design and build solution and project timelines.
Requirements
Proven experience in construction project management, ideally with phased delivery and operational continuity.
Strong understanding of roofing systems, temporary works, and health & safety compliance.
