• Coordinating execution teams – from engineers and planners to subcontractors and installers.
• Safeguarding progress, quality, safety, and client satisfaction on site, together with the Site Manager.
• Managing project risks, monitoring KPIs, and ensuring strong financial and operational reporting.
• Acting as the main point of contact for clients and stakeholders throughout the entire project lifecycle.
• Driving continuous improvement, digital innovation (e.g. BIM), and knowledge sharing within the team.

What you bring to the table

You are a natural leader with a strong technical background and an eye for both strategy and detail. You know how to keep projects on track in complex environments and are comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders.

Your profile:
