• Reviewing drawings and specs for buildability, highlighting discrepancies and raising RFIs

• Producing material take-offs, BOQs and long-lead item schedules

• Leading Supervisors, Engineers and subcontractors on site, ensuring labour, plant and materials are planned correctly

• Chairing site coordination meetings and maintaining up-to-date project documentation

• Driving high standards of health, safety and environmental compliance, including RAMS, audits and toolbox talks

• Attending client meetings, providing clear updates and managing expectations professionally

• Supporting and mentoring junior team members and encouraging continuous improvement

What they're looking for:

• Strong experience as a Project Manager or Senior Site Manager in public realm, landscaping or civil engineering projects
