• Strong understanding of commissioning, sequencing and subcontractor coordination
• Comfortable operating within fast-paced, highly scrutinised live environments
• Ability to manage multiple interfaces and resolve day-to-day site challenges

The Environment

This is a physically active, fast-paced live refurbishment environment where coordination and presence onsite are critical.
