• Reporting progress daily to the project manager, including photos and updates.
• Completing snagging and handover to programme.

What we're looking for

• A joinery background (time-served joiner or shopfitter preferred).
• Previous experience as a Site Manager, Supervisor or Working Foreman on retail fit-out or shopfitting projects.
• Experience working in live or customer-facing environments.
• Organised, reliable and able to work to tight programmes.
