• Liaise with local authorities, heritage and environmental bodies, and utility providers to maintain compliance and effective coordination.
• Oversee the integration of enabling works into the wider programme, minimising disruption to subsequent phases.
• Monitor and report on progress, risks, and mitigation strategies related to enabling works.
• Ensure all activities are carried out with a strong focus on safety, environmental protection, and community impact.
• Define and manage project scope, budget, and schedules.
• Track project performance and adjust plans where necessary to maintain delivery objectives.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations and building codes.
• Prepare and present clear, accurate progress reports to stakeholders.
• Proactively identify and resolve issues or delays to keep projects on track.
• Undertake site inspections and enforce quality control standards.
• Manage and administer contracts for individual projects within the wider programme.
• Monitor, track, and report on project expenditure, schedule, milestones, change control, and quality performance.
