  • Report progress, delays or scope changes to internal project teams
  • Maintain high standards of safety, quality and professionalism on site

Essential Requirements

  • Mechanical fitting experience (confident using tools and site equipment)
  • Previous site supervision or team leadership experience
  • Strong understanding of Health & Safety regulations
  • Full, clean UK driving licence (essential)
  • Comfortable working outdoors and in industrial environments
