• Attend and lead progress meetings.
• Coordinate project delivery alongside the Roofing Manager.
• Protect the company's commercial and contractual interests throughout the project.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experience managing roofing, cladding, façade or building envelope packages is preferred
• Experience working with Tier 1 main contractors on major residential or commercial projects.

• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail.

• Opportunity to play a key role on a prestigious development.
