• Support compilation of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals
• Schedule labour, plant, and subcontract resources effectively
• Liaise promptly and professionally with clients on programme updates, variations, and aftercare

About You

• Proven experience managing flat or pitched roofing projects
• Comfortable working with modern digital portals, programmes, and reporting systems, this business works with demanding tier one clients who expect a high level of engagement

• Organised, process-driven, and a confident communicator
• SMSTS and CSCS essential
• Full UK driving licence
